of the largest PE firms have turned to us for strategy help

The private capital firms that consistently outperform share certain traits: they recognize what has made them successful to date, understand how the industry is changing and what it will take to succeed in the future, embrace innovation, and continually evolve their strategies.

Across more than 700 engagements—in every alternative asset class, from private equity and private credit to secondaries, infrastructure, and real estate—we work with leaders to ensure their strategies and operations position them to win.

We can help you find the best answer to critical operational and strategic questions, including:

Where do we aim to be as a firm 10 years from now—what is our ambition? How can we achieve continued growth in an increasingly competitive environment?
What does it take to win in our current funds? Where are we differentiated today and what capabilities do we need to strengthen?
What new asset classes or strategies should we expand into? What products should we launch?
Should we pursue strategic acquisitions to accelerate growth? Which targets are most attractive, and how can we integrate them successfully to realize full value?
What should our sources of capital be going forward? Do we have the right fundraising strategy—across institutional capital, insurance, and private wealth—and resources to achieve our growth ambition?
Are our support functions optimized for efficiency and effectiveness? How can we improve margins and firm profitability?
How can technology, data, and AI transform how we source opportunities, make decisions, run the firm, and create value across the investment lifecycle?
What is the right organization, operating model and governance to execute our strategy?

With those key questions addressed, you can unify the firm around what you aim to achieve for your investors, management teams, talent, and society; stand out from your peers with a differentiated strategy; optimize fund-raising; and build a robust organization by enhancing your operating model from the back office to the front lines.
