You’ve examined an industry sector from every angle until you’ve finally hit upon a winning game plan. So what’s next? You can’t just sit at your desk and wait for an opportunity to knock on your door. You have to search for companies that fit your thesis. And yet it’s rare you’ll track down a deal that matches your requirements to the letter. In this captivating conversation, leading private equity pros explain how they use an investment thesis to guide them to the best deal. And they freely admit that their investments almost never start out as a perfect match. “The deal that’s finally actionable is unlikely to be the exact one you’re looking for, but it’s the thesis that dictates where you look,” says Doug Londal, managing director at New Mountain Capital. Joining the discussion are Dan Galante, managing partner at Grant Thornton, and Richard Lawson, managing partner at Huntsman Gay Global Capital. This is a must-see program for PE professionals interested in the best practices of deal origination and deal execution.
