Infrastructure support to alternative asset managers

Infrastructure support to private markets

Acuity Knowledge Partners supports clients in screening, due diligence, deal acquisition and portfolio monitoring.

We help private equity infrastructure funds fast-track their investment decisions by assisting them with financial modelling, investment committee (IC) memos, cashflow modelling, valuation, scenario building and recovery analysis, macroeconomic analysis, market mapping and industry/sector research.

We also conduct due diligence by creating diligence frameworks and conducting research, ensuring faster turnaround on deal decisions (40-50% reduction in time taken to close a deal).

Our bespoke monitoring solutions enable you to track fund performance periodically, conduct strategic reviews and prepare bespoke presentation material for investor reporting. This includes periodic updates of financial models, tracking operational and financial KPIs of investments, valuation templates, maintaining portfolio- and sector-specific dashboards, and credit monitoring.
