Private Equity Consulting
Precise analysis, disciplined execution. We turn investment ambition into measurable value, across the full cycle.
CAPITAL IS CAUTIOUS EXECUTION DECIDES
The Private Equity playbook is changing. Fundraising has slowed, exits are delayed, portfolio costs rise. General Partners win through real operational value and by evaluating different scenarios, not through waiting for multiple expansion.
Outcome scenarios:
Harald Enz
Managing Director
Multiple expansion has run its course. Returns now come from a value creation plan that is real on day one and delivered fast, on growth as much as on cost.
THE SHIFT IN FOUR PRESSURES
Each one alone is manageable. Together, they reset the playbook.
Fundraising slowdown
- Limited Partners are cautious
- Only differentiated firms raise capital
- Smaller and first-time funds under pressure
Exit bottlenecks
- Illiquid assets pile up
- Capital recycling slows
- Liquidity for new deals shrinks
Cost pressure
- Financing costs rise
- Portfolio EBITDA squeezes
- Operational value beats multiple expansion
DACH lagging
- Transaction volumes trail Europe
- Buyers need differentiation
- Sellers need exit preparation
