Abstract

To strengthen the findings of our empirical analysis that can only be confirmed based on deal-based evidence, a proprietary survey named as “Survey on Private Equity Investment Targeting in Italy” is designed and administered by sending a questionnaire via email to the investment directors and business development directors of a selected sample of management companies of private equity funds operating in Italy. The survey is made of 20 questions concerning investment practices and habits aimed at capturing the way PE investors build up their investment thesis around potential target companies. More specifically, the questionnaire is delivered to 21 private equity houses that are mostly members of the Italian Association of Private Equity and Venture Capital (AIFI) and highly active in the market. Private equity professionals involved in the survey are asked to provide details on the specificity of the private equity fund they contribute to managing in terms, for example, of the industry prevalence within the portfolio, its geographic concentration or the size of the investments in place and describe the way the investment selection strategy is carried out. 29 % of responses are obtained.
