BC Partners' success in monetizing €9bn of assets over the past 18 months is impressive, especially given the broader slowdown in distributions. As Nikos Stathopoulos said in a recent PEI article: "Everyone, especially LPs, are talking about how DPI is the new IRR." And we couldn't agree more! Here are three key DPI-focused analyses you can run on DealEdge to benchmark your deals and provide valuable insights: 🔴 Number of deals by DPI: This analysis allows firms to see a breakdown of the distribution of DPI by various dimensions such as industry and geography. It helps identify which sectors or regions have the largest proportion of good and/or bad deals.    🔴 Deal Landscape: A marimekko chart offering an overview of DPI performance sorted against total invested capital or the count of deals. This type of chart can be used for allocation exercises, exit priorities or sector/fund strategy.   🔴 Returns Chart: Comparing DPI across industries, hold periods, entry year, geographies and more. This analysis can help firms gauge the relative performance of their own investments against the market. 📊 Please note: the data featured in the images is for illustrative purposes only.

We're pleased to share that the BC Partners Foundation is partnering with Spread a Smile. The Foundation's aim is to support the incredible work of Spread a Smile, helping to bring happiness and spread smiles to seriously ill children and their families in hospital. To kick off the partnership, the BC Partners Central Functions Team recently tapped into their artistic side to help create some beautiful window art to be distributed to Spread a Smile’s NHS hospital partners. The artworks will help to enrich the wards and bring a little bit of joy and distraction to young patients undergoing treatment in hospital. A team of Spread a Smile artists led the session with passion and expertise, bringing their wealth of personal experience from supporting young patients in hospital.

That’s a wrap! Our CEO/CFO Conference has come to a close for another year. Over the last three days, we’ve hosted c.40 senior executives from across the BC Partners portfolio who, along with our outstanding guest speakers and the BC Partners team, shared insights, expertise, and best practices with each other.   This year’s theme was ‘Navigating the Shifting Sands’, and we need to say a special thanks to everyone who helped us explore this topic by sharing their perspectives on stage this year, including Bobby Yerramilli-Rao (Microsoft) and Jens Larsen (Eurasia Group), as well as the many executives from across the BC Partners platform who made the conference so engaging.   As always, it is invaluable spending time together, forging connections and sharing ideas for building better businesses. We look forward to the next one!  

In a recent interview with Private Equity International's Carmela Mendoza, Nikos Stathopoulos gave an insight into the strong exit momentum at BC Partners, which has monetised c.€9bn over the past year and a half. Describing BC Partners' focus on exits, Nikos outlined that in the near to mid-term, exits remain the first, second, and third priority for the firm as the broader slowdown in distributions continues, with the upper mid-market -- where BC operates -- providing ideal exit optionality.
