  • Description: Private equity firms are choosy shoppers, aggressive value builders and often discreet sellers. This chapter takes a micro perspective and tries to understand how private equity firms engineer value creation in their target companies. It also looks at private equity firms through the prism of the general partners (GPs) to understand how value is effectively created in portfolio companies. It has often been argued that private equity flourishes on market inefficiencies, and hence is more akin to an arbitrage play. The case studies presented in this chapter illustrate how private equity firms develop and implement winning strategies at the portfolio level, and how they support these strategies internally. All three strategies, operational value, financial leverage and multiple arbitrages, are sources of value creation, and private equity firms often use a combination of the three to achieve their goal.
