Suite of benchmarking solutions

Deal-level

Deal-level benchmarking allows for apples-to-apples comparisons without the impacts of fund-level economics.

Operating metrics and value creation

Operating metrics including purchase price multiples, leverage multiples and equity contributions and value creation analysis (e.g., % of value created from revenue growth, margin expansion, multiple expansion, etc.).

Fund terms

Compare legal terms (mgmt. fee, carried interest, GP commitment, etc.) and filter by strategy, sub-strategy, region, vintage, fund size.

Use cases and key features

GP strategic resource

Better understand performance
