For sovereign wealth funds and pension plans, fostering a portfolio of innovative new ventures is a powerful opportunity. You might even create your own unicorn along the way.
Our Approach to Private Equity Fund Operations and Investment Strategy
Our fund strategy and operations consulting teams work closely with private equity firms and principal investors to optimize five core capabilities:
- Mandate and Fund Investment Strategy: Which asset classes and sectors should you focus on—and where are the most promising new growth opportunities?
- Value Creation Strategy: How do you best engage with your portfolio companies to help them create more value?
- Governance, People, and Organization: What is the most effective governance model, talent strategy, and organization design to deliver on your mandate?
- Digital and Analytics Innovation: How do you integrate digital and analytics throughout your fund investment strategy to uncover disruptive opportunities?
- Operating Model and Technology: What’s the optimal private equity or principal investor operating model and technology framework to execute your fund investment strategy?

Technology and Platforms
Shifting to modern technology and data platforms can help firms consolidate and increase efficiency from their technology footprint, typically from about 30 systems on average to 5 to 8 systems. In addition, firms can realize average cost savings of 7 to 10 percentage points.
By implementing BCG’s data and digital platform, companies can scale up new digital services faster, while upgrading their core IT.
Data Governance and Insights
To close the knowledge gap and make data easier to access, firms should establish a data governance function headed up by a senior leader with the authority to bring investment, risk, finance, and other departments together so that they can align on a “single source of truth” and enforce data management changes across the organization.
BCG’s Build-Operate-Transfer is a proven method that allows companies to mobilize transformations that achieve digital at scale, scope, and speed.
Organization and Culture
To win in this new private equity operations environment, firms need to move quickly from ideation to action and empower their teams to make decisions quickly. This means optimizing and redesigning people and organizational processes, rethinking incentive and motivation structures, and embracing agile ways of working.
Our agile-at-scale framework can deliver overall employee engagement of 90% or more, accelerate time to market and new product delivery by two to four times, and reduce development costs by 15% to 25%.
Client Success in Fund Strategy and Operations
