Private Equity: where the market stands today
A fact base for planning. All figures below are third-party research estimates, not Routeget data, and they differ by how each firm defines the market.
Large, active and operations-focused
Firms increasingly compete on operational improvement rather than financial engineering alone.
About US$7.2 to 7.5 trillion in PE assets
GM Insights sizes global private equity assets under management in this range, within a wider private markets universe PwC sizes in the tens of trillions.
About 8% to 12.6% CAGR
PwC projects private market revenues growing about 8.2% a year to 2030, while GM Insights projects higher growth for private equity assets.
Diligence depth and faster integration
Early technology diligence and standardised reporting protect value and speed integration of add-ons.

Four pressures that shape private equity portfolio operations
These are the recurring problems we see when diligence, integration, reporting and value-creation operations run on disconnected systems.
Technology diligence gaps
Deal timelines leave little time to test systems, security and scalability.
Inconsistent reporting
Each portfolio company reports on its own template and calendar.
Add-on integration
Acquired companies run on different systems for months.
Exit readiness
Buyers question data quality and system maturity late in the process.

Two scenarios where connected data changes the day-to-day
These are illustrative scenarios that describe the business objective. They are not customer case studies.
Speeding up month-end across the portfolio
Standard charts of accounts and reporting packs shorten the close and make companies comparable.
Business objective: give the fund timely, consistent performance data.
Integrating an add-on
A repeatable plan moves the acquired company onto shared processes and data.
Business objective: capture synergies sooner.
How we approach delivery and evidence outcomes
We do not publish unverified customer figures on industry pages. This is how we make outcomes measurable in an engagement.
Baseline first
We agree the starting measures with you before design, such as time to close the books, integration cost and reporting consistency.
Delivery in stages
Releases are phased by site and process, so each stage is tested against real operations before the next.
Measured against your targets
Dashboards report the baseline measures from go-live, so benefit is judged on your data.
Examples of Routeget engagements can be discussed in a discovery call, subject to client approval for each reference.

Private Equity Portfolio: questions buyers ask us
How do you engage with a private equity portfolio business?
We usually start with a short discovery and a process review of one portfolio company and its reporting pack. From there we propose a phased scope, which can be fixed-scope for defined releases or a time-and-materials team for ongoing improvement.
Do you support diligence before a deal?
We provide structured technology and systems assessments with findings tied to cost and risk.
Can you standardise reporting across companies?
We design common reporting layers that work alongside each company’s systems.
Who owns the data and the configuration?
You do. The solution runs in your own environment, and configuration, data models and reports are documented and handed over so your team can maintain them.
How do you approach pricing and timelines?
Pricing and timing follow scope, including the number of portfolio companies, add-ons and reporting entities. We share an estimate after discovery, with assumptions and exclusions stated, and we confirm timelines only after reviewing your landscape.
