A new layer of insight

Portfolio Diagnostics from DealEdge lets you dissect your portfolio to identify strengths and weaknesses in order to make the best possible strategic decisions. 

Portfolio performance analysis used to take considerable time and effort to compile, and relied on patchy, inconsistent industry data. Now, for the first time, you can see your investments’ deal-level performance and operations data side-by-side with relevant, accurate sector-specific deal benchmarks like IRR, MOIC and CAGR, based on data for 36K+ transactions mapped against 560+ subsectors.

With analytics based on tried-and-tested methodologies utilized by Bain & Company, DealEdge allows you to extract actionable portfolio performance insights to refine your strategy, optimize your investment process, and tell your story to LPs.
