A Mile Wide or a Mile Deep?
The Diversification Opportunity Facing Private Equity
Boston Consulting Group, 2015
What's inside?
Several private equity firms have diversified, while others are sticking to their knitting, preferring to specialize.
Recommendation
Several large private equity (PE) firms have widened both the scope of their activities and the volume of their assets under management through diversification. But expansion is not necessarily a panacea for all PE firms, and some may be better off remaining “pure-play” shops in a particular area. Consultants Antoon Schneider, Jens Riedl and Jeanne Chen of the Boston Consulting Group succinctly lay out the trends in private equity and what they mean for PE firms and their investors. getAbstract recommends this instructive article to financial services professionals and private equity specialists.
