How to create value in private equity: A YouTube series

Portfolio operations look different fund by fund. What does not change is the need for clarity. In The Barton Partnership's latest piece, Harry Chamberlain outlines two dimensions that matter most, the internal team setup and the portfolio facing scope, plus the questions firms should align on before they go to market. Titles and carry. Where Ops joins investment decisions. Specialist, generalist, or blended model. Coverage expectations and billing. Clear success metrics tied to incentives.

Market leaders are doubling down on private credit, private equity and hybrid capital structures. What was once “alternative” is now core - meeting strong investor demand for yield, diversification and resilience. Innovative structuring - from NAV financing to continuation and hybrid solutions - is creating new flexibility and growth. Private capital is also driving margin resilience, with fundraising increasingly concentrated among the largest managers, and new semi-liquid vehicles expanding access to a broader investor base. This isn’t a short-term trend - it’s a structural shift in global markets. At Proskauer Rose LLP we’re working with market leaders across the spectrum to navigate and capitalize on this evolution. #PrivateEquity #PrivateCredit #PrivateCapital #Growth

“The line between public and private markets is blurring — and wealth managers who adapt fastest will unlock the most opportunity for their clients.”

The founders who get funded are not always the ones with the biggest vision. They are the ones who can show a clear path forward. A strong pitch connects three things: • The problem you are solving • The traction you already have • The plan for where capital takes you next When those pieces line up, the conversation shifts. Investors stop seeing risk and start seeing opportunity. Clarity is what gets funded. #MavenAdvisory

Planning Your Exit Is Planning Your Profit. Every investor loves a good entry point. But the great ones — they master their exits. Planning your exit isn’t about leaving; it’s about maximising returns and protecting flexibility. Ask these before you buy: 👉 What’s my exit strategy in 3 years? 👉 How might market conditions reshape my path? 👉 Do my lease terms give me room to manoeuvre? Smart investing isn’t just about acquisition. It’s about anticipation. Do you map your exit before you buy, or pivot as you go? 💬 #Roothome #PropertyInvestment #PropertyGrowth #InvestorMindset #ROI #PropertyStrategy #RealEstateInsights

“𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗘 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗠𝗰𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱’𝘀.” KKR Partner Alisa Wood brought up an interesting point that says a lot about where we are. “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 19,000 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘚. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 14,000 𝘔𝘤𝘋𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘥’𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘚." 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴: 📌 LPs have more choice than ever. Fundraising will reward clear edge and credible DPI, not slogans. 📌 Managers need real operating playbooks—sourcing, underwriting discipline, and value creation that shows up in cash. 📌 Differentiation now lives in systems: sector depth, data advantage, and quietly effective tools (yes, AI) that improve signal and execution. 𝗡𝗲𝘁: fewer headlines, more proof. And yes—glad we are not talking about the number of VC firms in the US else we’d be stuck comparing it to the number of coffee shops per block, perhaps ? #privateequity

Ever wondered if private equity is right for your exit? Here’s what our data shows. Over the past three years, 66% of Regent Evolution deals have involved private equity, and 50% of those included a partial fundraise or equity rollover — allowing owners to take significant capital off the table and benefit from future growth. Why PE is often the best route: ✅ Flexible structures — partial exits, equity rollovers, and staged payouts ✅ Growth mindset — investors provide capital, expertise, and acquisition support ✅ Strategic partnerships — board-level input and global expansion potential ✅ Enhanced returns — the chance for a “second bite” when the business exits again With 360+ deals worth over £2bn completed, an 80% success rate, and a buyer network of 2,800+ investors, we know how to position your business to attract the right buyers and maximise value.
