Findings will provide private equity investors needed data on organizational factors that impact transaction outcomes.

FMG Leading, a human capital advisory firm focused on the private equity and healthcare industries, has announced the launch of the first annual Human Capital Transaction Index survey. The confidential, invitation-only survey will capture private equity leaders’ unique insights on human capital-related factors – from executive leadership and culture to well-organized structures and processes – and how they perceive such factors as drivers of valuations and transaction outcomes.

Distributed in partnership with Hunt Scanlon Media, the survey was launched in coordination with the Hunt Scanlon Private Equity Conference on May 19 in New York City, an exclusive event themed, “Designing the New Private Equity Talent Blueprint.”

“Investors continue to expend precious energy trying to influence the human dynamics of portfolio company performance as well as conduct valuations through a human capital-focused lens,” said Will Busch III, Managing Director of Growth Strategies and leader of the Private Equity advisory practice at FMG Leading. “This challenging work has been vastly more complicated due to a lack of industry data on the organizational factors that impact deal outcomes.

“Our Human Capital Transaction Index is designed to fill this gap by identifying the factors that most often influence transactions pre- and post-close,” continued Mr. Busch. “We look forward to sharing our data and further analysis with the broader investor community to help them engineer greater returns across their funds.”

FMG Leading and Hunt Scanlon Media are inviting top leaders at private equity firms to participate in the survey. Respondents will receive a first look at the findings and an invitation to an exclusive webinar during which Mr. Busch and other senior FMG Leading advisors will share survey findings and discuss actionable strategies that private equity firms should implement to accelerate future growth.

Private equity leaders who wish to participate in the survey but have not yet received an invitation can request a link to the survey from Erik Boender at erik@huntscanlon.com.
