Welcome to Value Add

Value Add is the leading research journal for the operating side of private equity. We provide in-depth analysis of turnarounds, track portfolio companies, profile operating executives, research value creation best practices, and more. The reason thousands of dealmakers, operating partners, board members, and C-suite executives subscribe to Value Add is because we go beyond M&A news and cover what happens between the buyout and exit.

Recurring themes we cover include:

• Buyout Trends
• Performance Improvement
• Corporate Restructuring
• Digital Transformation
• Talent Management
• ESG & Governance
• Risk & Regulation

The operating side of private equity has never been more important. The average holding period of a PE-backed company increased from five to seven years over the past decade, and the majority of sponsor-backed value creation in portfolio companies now comes from operational improvements rather than financial engineering. It's critical that deal teams, operating partners, and portco executives have access to what's working — and not working — in private equity turnarounds.

Value Add is a must-read for professionals who want to monitor what's going on in private markets. Sign-up today for an individual subscription to access all our weekly briefings, case studies, reports, and other professional content.
