AI & algorithmic trading is widely used in public equities, if not entirely understood. But how is #datascience being used to improve #privateequity investing?
Here are 8 takeaways from Private Equity International's article - Better Deal Making Through Data:
· 67% of PE CFOs believe that the greatest impact of #ai on PE will be felt in the next 5 yrs (31% in 10 yrs)
· Globally, #origination is still largely a human endeavour #networkingg, word of mouth, etc); just 3% of respondents use AI for sourcing
· PE firms use #bigdata in #dealsourcing, #duediligence & #valuecreation
· EQT Group developed the #Motherbrain platform (great name!) to “model the world” & identify emerging trends
· Hg has a 20-strong data team spending 1/3 of their time on pre-deal; identifying the value potential of data within a target to firm up investment conviction
· Compelling examples are emerging of PE firms using data to boost & de-risk portfolio company #performance
· Larger PE firms usually build data expertise in-house; mid-market players typically outsource
· Pandemic has accelerated #dataanalytics adoption as firms experiment with new ways of working
