Impact isn’t a niche anymore but the future of capital. Last week our founder, Arnaud Saint-Paul joined Forum for Impact. Arnaud joined some of the most forward-thinking investors, family offices, and founders at the Forum for Impact to explore one powerful question: What happens when purpose becomes the foundation of capital? According to the GIIN, over $1.1 trillion is now invested globally with impact in mind and the momentum is only growing. This isn’t just good for people or planet. It’s good business. Long-term. Values-aligned. Measurable. GIIN source: https://lnkd.in/e-7jpCZN

💡 A Quiet Shift in Private Markets 🚨 LPs are rethinking what value really means. 👉 According to the latest data, institutional investors are increasingly prioritizing leadership durability, alignment, and operational depth over pure financial engineering and short-term IRR targets. 🌱 In today’s environment of higher rates and compressed multiples, capital alone no longer differentiates. LPs are asking tougher questions: 📌 Who is actually leading the business day-to-day? 📌 How sustainable is the leadership model beyond the hold period? 📌 Is value being created in spreadsheets — or in operations? 🦾 ✅ This shift explains the growing institutional interest in Operator-Led Buyouts, where aligned entrepreneurs and investors share long-term value creation goals from day one. 💡At Novastone Partners, we see this not as a passing trend, but as a fundamental evolution — one that brings private equity closer to its entrepreneurial roots. 📊 Sources: Bain & Company (2025), PitchBook (2024), Novastone Partners ETA / Buyout Market Report 2025 #NovastonePartners #PrivateEquity #ETA #OperatorLed #ValueCreation
