This summer, we're revisiting classic episodes that address some of the industry's most pressing issues, and one looming challenge for the industry is how to execute a buy-and-build strategy.
You can listen to this episode of Dry Powder and catch future episodes by subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you may listen.
Why do I single out buy-and-builds? Well, it's overwhelmingly the most popular investment strategy, comprising nearly half of all private equity deals in 2023. But how will GPs keep this strategy going in today’s “higher for longer” interest rate environment?
Two of our earliest episodes offer a rich set of insights on what it really takes to successfully execute a buy-and-build deal. We're sharing the series with you today in the hope that it will help you plan for the year ahead, and we look forward to bringing new episodes to you in the fall.
