While there is plenty of opportunity in private equity, there’s also no shortage of competition. The flood of private capital in recent years continues to raise the performance bar, making attractive targets increasingly difficult to find. In this crowded, bullish environment, finding real value can be more challenging than ever for both buyers and sellers. It’s no longer enough to simply focus on traditional means of creating value. Players must develop their unique equity story – creating a compelling narrative of why they should invest in a target, what to expect over the medium to long term and why they should pay more than anybody else to win a deal.
