Using the Right Numbers

Maximize your apparent skill as an investor and operator by sending the right portfolio company financial metrics to prospective Limited Partners.

Normalizing Leverage

Precisely quantify gains or losses from amplifying equity returns with debt, de-levering capital structures, and using equity to fund growth initiatives.

Understanding the Hierarchy

Design robust value creation models that reliably measure how equity returns come from movements in underlying portfolio company financials and broader market metrics.

Measuring Manager Value-Add

Calculate equity returns driven by improving market share, EBITDA margins, quality of revenue or earnings, and cash management, as well as equity structuring mechanics.

Transforming Return Measurments

Convert any absolute ($) value driver into capital- or time-dependent measurements like times money value creation, equity return multipliers, or value creation IRRs.

Properly Adjusting for M&A

Incorporate add-on acquisitions, asset sales and purchases, support equity investments, dividend recapitalizations, and other financing and M&A activities into value creation models.
