Increasing Returns for Private Equity Investors

The Bad News: More Equity and Less Leverage, Longer Holding Periods, and a Terrible Exit Environment.

In today’s M&A environment, many financial engineering tools of the private equity investor are less effective than in years past. PE firms have been forced to hold portfolio companies for longer periods as decreased operating results and lack of liquidity have all but eliminated sale opportunities. The end effect: decreased returns to General and Limited Partners.

To combat the current environment, Private Equity and Hedge Fund Investors must put increasing focus on operations and execution in four critical stages of a transactions life cycle: Pre-Acquisition due diligence, post closing transition (whether a stand-alone platform company or merger integration), asset/portfolio management and exit strategies.

The Good News: Tough Operating Environments are where NHB Advisors operate best.

NHB built its reputation by providing turnaround management and consulting services on behalf of middle market companies. The NHB client portfolio has grown to include Private Equity and other investors who reach out for NHB when they want advisors who understand management first hand. NHB Professionals have a powerful blend of financial and operations expertise which add value at each stage of the M&A process, increasing returns and minimizing risk. NHB Professionals can act as key additional resources to overburdened management teams to help manage through crucial stages of a transactions life cycle as consultants or step in and take on critical management roles on a case by case basis.
