Private Equity Value Creation Report: Australia 2025

Australian PE in the productivity trap: Driving value creation no longer just optional

We are delighted to announce the launch of A&M’s 2025 Australia Private Equity Value Creation Report.

This comprehensive report is based on an exclusive survey conducted between July and August 2025, capturing insights from over 40 investors, operating partners, and portfolio executives across Australia. Their responses have been benchmarked against data from over 300 participants surveyed by A&M across Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia.

The report provides an in-depth exploration of how funds are addressing the challenges of managing ageing assets, navigating trade and cost pressures, and executing impactful value creation strategies.
