From portfolio complexity to value-driving clarity

Private equity has never been under more pressure. Returns are tightening, LPs are demanding visibility, and every quarter the performance gap between top-quartile funds and underperformers widens.

In the last five quarters alone, top-quartile PE-backed companies expanded EBITDA margins by 220 bps, while underperformers saw valuations compress by more than 15%. The takeaway is clear: in today’s market, execution speed and allocation discipline—not just deal volume—separate winners from laggards.

Why This Matters for PE Investors

Investor Data Point distills market noise into the three levers that consistently shape multiples:

  • Capital allocation efficiency — where every dollar deployed is linked back to enterprise value drivers.
  • GTM productivity — how effectively portfolio companies convert investment into sustainable revenue growth.
  • Operational leverage — scaling without adding cost drag that erodes returns.

These aren’t abstract concepts. They’re the metrics boards scrutinize, LPs benchmark against, and buyers price into valuations.

The NextAccel Edge

At NextAccel, we don’t just surface metrics—we help you act on them. Our investor-focused research and execution frameworks reveal which levers in your portfolio are creating enterprise value now, and which are silently eroding it.

We bring clarity to questions like:

  • Which companies are on track to hit top-quartile performance benchmarks?
  • Where are capital and operating resources being under-deployed or misaligned?
  • What signals are buyers already pricing into your future exit multiples?

From Insight to Enterprise Value Impact

For PE investors, every basis point counts. With tighter holding periods and exit timelines under scrutiny, the ability to course-correct in real time is what separates a 2x return from a 2.6x TSR outcome.

Investor Data Point is designed to give you that edge—distilling complexity into actionable clarity that drives valuation up, not sideways.
