Driving Value Through Add-on Acquisitions in Private Equity

Insights, Strategies and Best Practices

Add-on deals play a pivotal role in the Private Equity landscape, representing a remarkable 76% of the total US PE deal count in 2023*. Due to a high-interest rate environment and market volatility, we’ve seen larger funds shifting focus to smaller deals and establishing these nimble transactions as one of the primary drivers of deal activity over the last few years.

Watch this panel discussion, where we delve into the heart of this transformative trend. Join us to explore the strategic evolution behind add-on acquisitions in today's market and uncover the unique considerations arising from smaller add-on deals. Our panelists, Richa Aggarwal (PwC) and Yale Kwon (AlixPartners) share their perspectives and expertise on sourcing, evaluation, post-acquisition integration planning and challenges that are inevitably present.

 The event is hosted by Arbolus CEO and Co-founder Sam Glasswell.
