Practice Area Profile
BCG's Principal Investors & Private Equity (PIPE) Practice supports the world's largest firms. We cover the full spectrum of services across the entire value chain from transaction services to transformative profit improvement programs for portfolio companies to strategy and operations work for the funds themselves. We are organized into six distinct sectors: Private Equity, Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs), Pension Funds, Hedge Funds, Family Offices and Infrastructure & Real Estate.
Private Equity has been a key focus at BCG for many years and with the establishment of the PIPE Practice four years ago, we have experienced huge and fast growth. With our strong global network and “on-the-ground” experience in all major European and US markets, we are expecting further positive growth and opportunities for the Practice to further establish their platforms and accelerate their careers successfully.
