Value creation – creating your own opportunities
In uncertain times, private equity investors cannot rely solely on financial engineering to achieve superior returns. GPs need a more comprehensive approach towards value creation with detailed plans on how to ride out the current market turbulence. For the private equity industry, this will be a crucial factor in terms of setting apart top performers in the future. Our panel of top GPs will share their experience on how value creation has created opportunities for their portfolio companies to excel.
- How has the recent market volatility impacted value creation in China, and have the priorities shifted?
- What are the most important considerations for Chinese GPs when driving value creation?
- Are top GPs incorporating more ESG criteria into their value creation plans? How?
- What are some of the ways to incorporate technology into old economy companies?
