Beyond the Ticker

Private equity generates alpha by leveraging informational asymmetries and market inefficiencies in non-public assets. Through strategic operational enhancements, PE firms achieve significant EBITDA growth and superior risk-adjusted returns compared to public equities.

Our KEPEGI Index employs a modified public market equivalent (PME) methodology to quantify this outperformance. By adjusting for beta and the illiquidity premium, KEPEGI consistently highlights the advantages of private equity investments.

Growth Through Digital Transformation

Stakeholders in private equity firms now require efficient digital solutions to source and track positions and valuations in real-time. Dedicated digital software platforms are crucial for streamlining deal sourcing, due diligence, and portfolio management processes. Additionally, there is a growing need for digital dashboards and apps that provide investors with transparent and accessible insights into fund performance and portfolio metrics.

To stay competitive, private equity firms must embrace innovative technology solutions that enable them to adapt quickly to changing market dynamics and investor demands.

Sustainable Excellence

ESG aspects has risen to the top of the priority list due to compelling numerical evidence showcasing its impact on risk management and long-term performance. Research indicates that companies with strong ESG practices have demonstrated superior financial performance, with studies showing that high ESG-rated companies have outperformed low ESG-rated companies by up to 25% over a five-year period.

A recent report by the CFA Institute revealed that 73% of investment professionals believe that integrating ESG factors into investment analysis can lead to better long-term returns. By incorporating ESG criteria into investment decisions, professionals can potentially reduce portfolio volatility and enhance returns, aligning investments with sustainable and responsible practices.

The rise of ESG investments can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, regulatory developments and disclosure requirements have prompted companies to enhance their transparency regarding ESG practices, providing investors with valuable insights into the sustainability of business operations. Additionally, a surge in awareness and consciousness among investors regarding the broader impact of their investment decisions has fueled the demand for ESG-aligned investment opportunities.

Investors are increasingly recognizing that robust ESG practices are indicative of well-managed and resilient companies, capable of navigating the complex challenges of an evolving global landscape. As a result, ESG considerations have become integral components of comprehensive investment strategies, with a focus not only on financial performance but also on the long-term resilience and societal contribution of invested assets.
