    Description of Performing Under Pressure

    The European buy-out market is under greater scrutiny than ever before.

    Expectations are high but so are concerns about the operating environment. Performing under Pressure, a survey of 75 of the region’s most important buy-out firms, explores the most pressing issues for both firms and limited partners and analyses the different parts of the market.

    This confidential survey was supplemented by in-depth interviews with buy-out firms and limited partners.

    It examines the mounting competition in this investment arena, the composition of teams and their investment processes, the strategies they are adopting to succeed in a radically different economic environment, and their expectations for the years ahead.

    The result is a revealing analysis and comprehensive appraisal of market conditions. The report provides a wealth of valuable information and benchmark data for buy-out firms who need to know where they stand in relation to the rest of the market, and for investors who want to understand the changing shape of the buy-out universe.
