About

We have the knowledge, network, and investment acumen necessary to strategically evolve our clients’ businesses.

With over six decades of private markets experience, we translate the nuances of the GP:LP relationship into actionable insights born from our unique combination of experience, analysis, and objectivity. Our goal is to create tangible impact, guiding our clients to a clearer view of their stakeholder perceptions, value proposition, market position, and strategic priorities.

Approach

We see each client as a unique puzzle of investment strategy, team, track record, and alignment; and our engagements are customized accordingly.

We collaboratively collect, assess, and translate investor, industry, and internal viewpoints. Through this process, we integrate insights while working with our clients to enable them to evolve.

01

Collect

Internal and/or external perceptions and data are gathered to inform an in-depth understanding of a firm’s market positioning, levels of partnership resonance, opportunities, and challenges.
02

Assess

The Acuity Partners lens, our ‘insider’ perspective and objective point of view, is applied to all collected findings. We meticulously analyze and evaluate insights and data, leverage our deep private markets experience, and draw on industry best practices to assess our client’s level of ‘investability’ and ‘goodwill’ through the eyes of its investors or partners.
03

Translate

In-depth findings, analytics, and viewpoints are translated into actionable, solutions-oriented strategic considerations. Areas for improvement and growth that align with our client’s objectives are identified. Acuity crafted recommendations bridge the gap between insight and execution.
04

Evolve

We aim to create immediate impact and value for our clients. Acuity engagements lead to novel data-informed viewpoints, enhanced relationships, compelling value propositions, and stronger market positions. We foster internal buy-in and spark aligned momentum among client teams that leads to profound near- and long-term change.
