Private equity firms need reliable information to increase confidence in their decisions and to demonstrate compelling rationale to their investors. Our Consultancy team at Capital Economics provides rigorous insight to support investment decisions that our clients need to make. 

We produce detailed analysis and insight from an independent viewpoint on the prospects for a target acquisition. We work together with our clients to understand the nature of the target acquisition, then draw upon our global expertise in macroeconomics, markets and property to construct economic forecasts and implications for the sector of interest. As well as a central view, we typically conduct scenario analysis to give firms a good understanding of potential outcomes for their investment.

Our flexible approach to working with the client ensures that we fully understand their needs to deliver our findings in a clear, concise, and jargon-free format to agreed deadlines. The output can be tailored to a specific audience be that senior management, investment committees or external investors.
