Venture capital and private equity firms approach us to help them with different sets of tasks. Here are examples of three typical sets of tasks or project types:

Rating of Private Equity Funds

A rating process for private equity and venture capital firms is comparable to traditional funds rating, in that it should provide reliable decision-making support for potential investors in equities funds or pension funds. The focus is on evaluating the probability of losses and chances of profit for the capital invested.

A special type of funds rating is required for venture capital firms. This is dictated by the legalities of the complex and non-transparent private equity sector.

The quality of a rating increases with the number of possibilities of making comparisons. Fleischhauer, Hoyer & Partner has developed a scoring model for evaluating venture capital and private equity funds. Throughout Europe, this model has proven itself over twenty times with respect to providing a basis on target funds and in some thirty cases for evaluating fund of funds (umbrella funds). To date, almost all rating testimonials drawn up by Fleischhauer, Hoyer & Partner have been commissioned by leading institutional investors. To our knowledge, no other rating agency can demonstrate a similar number of ratings or a comparable level of experience with the private equity sector.

If you would like to receive a proposal for a rating testimonial with more detailed information on our scoring model and a modular project concept, please call or write to us.

Portfolio analysis

Today, all venture capital firms have to be very familiar with planning, controlling, and management tools. Venture capital firms only get the necessary insight into the strategic orientation and development of the portfolio when they use strategic management tools. These help them to be precise in their decision making on individual portfolio companies and to achieve positive results overall.

The value of a portfolio analysis by Fleischhauer, Hoyer & Partner goes beyond "just" managing the overall portfolio, extending to objective representation and evaluation of the portfolio for investors in the fund. Particularly during the fundraising phase, investors have to be informed in detail about the status quo and potentials of the fund.

Market and technology testimonials

Venture capital firms often commission us to prepare a detailed market and technology testimonial as part of their due-diligence processes. These testimonials provide answers to questions on whether to invest or in which companies investors should invest to gain high returns with calculable risks.
