On the latest episode of BDO’s Private Equity PErspectives podcast , we explore findings from the 2022 Private Capital Pulse Survey, which surveyed 200 fund managers on their plans for creating value, closing deals and pursuing ESG.

Todd Kinney speaks with Jeremy Holland, managing partner, origination, at the Riverside Company and Matt Segal, national partner for private equity assurance at BDO. Matt, Jeremy and Todd discuss:

• Why exit planning needs to start sooner than you think, given economic uncertainty

• How funds are struggling to create value, due to asset price increases

• How the Riverside Company has built its talent pipeline through DE&I and alternative talent sources

• Why so many fund managers are shifting their focus to ESG

In today’s competitive deal environment, building deep and niche expertise has helped one fund manager succeed, while another – who is just starting up a new firm – has found early wins by building on his industry knowledge, tapping his network and taking on a “jack of all trades” role.

In the latest episode of BDO’s Private Equity PErspectives podcast, Todd Kinney speaks with Zeena Rao, managing director at ICV partners, and Kevin Feinblum, founder and partner at AOS Capital, about:

• Why targeting very niche industries can differentiate a PE firm
• How to provide value as supply chain issues and inflationary pressures impact portcos
• How to build from the ground up with a brand-new fund, especially in a competitive environment
• What’s ahead for M&A amid an increase in interest rates and inflation
