important
that

and
participating
equally,
whether
it’s
their
deal
or
not.”

“The
level
of
openness,
the
level
of
collaboration
and
the
decision-‐
making

are

effectively
pick

right
opportunity

how
you’re
going
to
deploy
capital
in
today’s
market,
which
is
changing
and
is
much
more
competitive
than
it’s
ever
been.”

The
most
successful
private
equity
investors
do
extensive
research
into
industry
sub-‐
sectors
before
they
even
begin
looking
for
deals.
They
build
a
thesis
and
only
then
start
the
search
for
companies
that
embody
it.

Armed
with
a
thesis,
private
equity
7irms
must
be
proactive
in
searching
for
opportunities,
and
not
wait
for
opportunities
to
be
shopped
to
them.

It
is
possible,
even
normal,
to
form
a
directional
view
of
the
world
and,
just
as
your
7irm
is
ready
to
pull
the
trigger
on
a
seemingly
attractive
deal,
to
learn
that
the
world
has
changed,
or
that
a
trend
has
emerged
that
changes
either
your
thesis
or
the
attractiveness
of
the
speci7ic
investment
available.
