These are interesting times for Private Equity (PE) Houses. Fundraising has become a matter of demonstrable management skills and added value above and beyond historical returns. Investors are reviewing their private equity allocations and competition for quality deals is intense. Even with the recent gradual increase in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity globally, the scope for the PE House to leverage transactions aggressively is diminishing.

In today's market a new focus on building value and managing performance from existing assets emerges. PE Houses are likely to need a wider range of skills at their disposal than is necessary purely for deals. Therefore, the services our clients traditionally expect from us have broadened beyond the deal and taken on a longer-term context. PCGC is now taking one of the leading positions in offering a combined approach to helping our clients with their strategic, deal and portfolio management issues.
