The transformation of the economy is well underway — but transparency has not kept pace. With Transforming Performance, we strive to build a robust evidence base to make transition performance measurable, comparable, and investable – combining superior return potential with a targeted contribution to long-term economic competitiveness.
 
Fundamentally changing framework conditions are making the future-oriented positioning of companies one of the key challenges of our time. From an ownership perspective, this is essential to ensure long-term competitiveness in the face of increasingly scarce resources. From an investor's perspective, such transformation-driven investments can offer attractive return potential. With our pioneering research project we are creating transparency and empowering decision-makers to pursue economically promising, transformation-compatible investments. 

Why private equity 

The most dynamic innovation often happens outside of publicly listed companies. Private equity and venture capital investors play a central role in shaping innovation and change — whether by helping established companies adapt or by backing the pioneers of tomorrow. This unique position gives private capital the power to accelerate and ensure future economic competitiveness.

Creating transparency through metrics and peer comparisons 

To date, there is a lack of transparency on how private capital investors position themselves with regard to transformation - or on the progress achieved by non-listed companies. Our project bridges this gap by mapping the market, peer insights, and clear metrics.

Your Input, Our Support 

By providing a clear, data-driven picture of how private capital contributes to the transition towards a resilient economy, we aim to empower investors and fund managers to benchmark strategies, identify best practices, and direct capital where it delivers lasting value.
