Improving Portfolio Oversight in Private Equity with PETM

Private equity value creation doesn’t end at deal close. Effective portfolio oversight is essential to ensure investments meet performance targets while staying compliant. PETM (Private Equity Transaction Manager) equips firms with real-time insight into the operational health of each portfolio company, creating a unified view for both investment and compliance leaders.

The Challenge of Portfolio Oversight

With multiple entities, jurisdictions, and transaction types in play, portfolio oversight can quickly become fragmented. Information is often buried in siloed systems or reliant on periodic updates from portfolio companies, creating delays, blind spots, and potential compliance risks.

How PETM Strengthens Oversight

PETM integrates directly with transaction, governance, and compliance workflows across portfolio companies. This means operating partners and leadership teams can:

  • View all in-progress transactions in a single, centralised dashboard
  • Track compliance status for each jurisdiction without manual follow-ups
  • Generate portfolio-level performance and governance reports on demand

By removing the reliance on fragmented data sources, PETM gives decision-makers a live, accurate picture of the portfolio’s operational state.

Real-time compliance intelligence for deal, tax & legal teams

PETM provides a single source of truth for governance and substance across the portfolio:

  • Monitor obligations by jurisdiction, entity type or regulatory category
  • Drill down into unmet requirements to view calculation logic, evidence, and responsible teams
  • Export dashboards for reporting to boards, LPs, auditors and regulators

Whether you’re preparing for a regulator review, a tax authority audit, or vendor due diligence, PETM gives you instant answers.

The Strategic Benefit

PETM reduces portfolio reporting cycles from quarterly to real-time access, allowing leadership to address operational risks before they impact value. This shift not only improves compliance scores but also gives the investment committees a clearer, more timely view of performance.

Why It Matters for Returns

Oversight is more than monitoring; it’s the ability to act quickly when risks or opportunities emerge. PETM provides the governance framework and visibility to make portfolio-wide improvements without increasing administrative load.
