The Impact of Private Equity Ownership on Risk Management
A survey of 50 C-suite executives at private equity owned companies on the impact private equity ownership has had on their risk management.
As businesses look for opportunities to deploy their capital, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are a key strategy for many. Understanding and managing the risks involved can be challenging, however, especially for those investing in unfamiliar markets or industries.
Marsh’s Private Equity and M&A Practice develops solutions that help corporations, private equity firms, alternative asset managers, lenders, and infrastructure investors manage M&A risks. Our dedicated global team of advisers and attorneys works across Marsh and other Marsh & McLennan Companies businesses to help provide you with specialised, industry-specific depth.
With more than two decades of M&A experience, we provide you with the insights to evaluate, facilitate, and close your transaction while managing buy- and sell-side risks. And, after the deal closes, our group purchasing programmes use economies of scale to potentially maximise buying power and lower insurance costs over the life of the investment and beyond.
By identifying and evaluating the potential risk challenges in your M&A transaction, Marsh helps ensure speed of execution and accuracy in price – so you can submit bids with confidence.
