PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, VALUE CREATION & CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT

The investment industry has reached a new level of competition with entry valuations at levels unimaginable just a few years ago. This has increased focus not just on deal making but on active management of portfolio companies. It also includes M&A strategies to drive Buy & Build programmes. PER is continually developing these specialist networks and candidate pools to support our clients.

Our expertise

A rising number of investment firms are building dedicated value creation teams to drive the growth or transformation of the businesses they invest into. The areas of responsibility include strategy, ESG, digitisation, pricing strategies, supply chain re-engineering, new market entry and beyond.

PER has a deep reach into these specialist networks and candidate pools to support expansionary clients.



The growing importance of buy & build strategies is increasing demand from our clients for dedicated M&A professionals working within individual portfolio companies. We have developed active networks of these specialists, eager to be part of these fast-growing businesses, working closely with management and sponsors to capture value in each portfolio asset.
