Principal Investors and Private Equity

Principal investors and private equity firms are enjoying exponential growth even as economic and financial shifts challenge their traditional ways of doing business and of generating value. Most important, when it comes to generating new opportunities, private capital is at the forefront. For instance, investors and firms are strongly positioned to deliver material impact on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities and to create value by accelerating digital transformation.

But seizing such opportunities calls for fresh approaches to making investment decisions. BCG brings a unique set of strengths and expertise to help investors and firms capitalize on opportunities while navigating uncertainties.
