An under­per­form­ing com­pa­ny can have sweep­ing adverse effects that extend beyond just a pri­vate equi­ty firm’s port­fo­lio. Because many pri­vate equi­ty firms tend to con­tin­u­al­ly work with one bank in par­tic­u­lar, an under­per­former can put that entire long-term rela­tion­ship in jeop­ardy. Fur­ther­more, an under­per­form­ing port­fo­lio com­pa­ny jeop­ar­dizes the over­all return on the fund, neg­a­tive­ly impact­ing rela­tion­ships with key pri­vate equi­ty investors. Being aware of poor port­fo­lio com­pa­ny per­for­mance and of the options avail­able to pri­vate equi­ty firms can rec­ti­fy struc­tur­al issues with­in the com­pa­ny with­out com­pro­mis­ing bank or oth­er key con­stituent relationships.
