DealEdge launches integrated private equity deal performance benchmarking

BOSTON, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- DealEdge is pleased to announce the launch of its latest module, Portfolio Diagnostics. This new update to the platform lets private equity firms compare their deals directly against sector-specific performance benchmarks in one integrated view.

Private equity firms can now systematically compare their portfolio investments to comprehensive deal-level, sector-specific benchmarks in a single platform.

• Performance insights are now available at a deal level:
• The PE industry has historically relied upon fund-level benchmarking to assess relative performance
• Effective benchmarking to the deal level has only been possible in limited ways, owing to a lack of available, consistently calculated returns data
• DealEdge introduced the first reliable, sector-specific PE deal benchmarks in 2021, enabling apples-to-apples comparison of deal performance against the market for the first time
• The first systematic portfolio performance platform for private equity firms:
• DealEdge's new module, Portfolio Diagnostics, takes portfolio analysis to the next level by enabling systematic monitoring of portfolio performance directly in-platform
• The platform also includes portfolio and sector analytics based on tried-and-tested methodologies utilized by Bain & Company for sector strategy analysis
• Private equity firms can use this insight to refine their strategies, optimize their investment process, and better inform their fund investors about the performance of their investments
• More transparent portfolio insights for institutional investors:
• The enhanced LP reporting enabled by DealEdge allows fund investors to compare the relative performance of fund managers and identify which are successfully and consistently creating value
• Robust, sector-specific deal-level market benchmarks:
• DealEdge has data on 35K+ buyout and growth deals, including returns (IRR, multiple on invested capital and more) and operating metrics (margins, multiples and risk) across 560+ subsectors

David Lawrence – General Manager, DealEdge: "Portfolio performance analysis used to take considerable time and effort for private equity firms to compile, and they relied primarily on patchy, inconsistent industry data. With our latest update, we have given firms the tools they need to dissect their portfolios and assess their strengths and weaknesses.

"By combining their own data and our best-in-class benchmarks in one place, they can now make strategic decisions with clarity and confidence. It's a step-change in how GPs can strategically analyze their portfolio performance and communicate with investors."

Portfolio Diagnostics is live now on the DealEdge platform, and is available to all current subscribers. If you would like to see it in action, please get in touch with us at [email protected] or www.dealedge.com.
