Investment Themes You Can Take To The Bank
Investment Theme Development for Operational and Industrial Technology Investors
At VDC Strategy, we help private equity funds and fundless sponsors sharpen their edge in operational and industrial technology investing. Our consulting services are built for senior investment teams that need to move with clarity, speed, and conviction.
The Ongoing Evolution of Operational and Industrial Technology Investment Themes
Investment themes in operational and industrial technology are driven as much by technology change as they are by the continuously evolving needs of major consuming markets. Whether in manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, supply chains, retail, defense, energy or a myriad of other markets that have proven to be major operational and industrial technology users, new investment themes are continuously emerging, presenting opportunity for investors who are disciplined in their search and evaluation.
Identifying High-Potential Themes
We identify emerging themes by scanning for markets with specific and unique characteristics. Among those are strong structural tailwinds, an established and growing addressable market, a fragmented competitive landscape, products with a uniquely strong value proposition, and technology trends that support the ability to deliver increasing value and expanding margins going forward. Our exclusive focus on operational and industrial technology uniquely positions us to help clients identify a variety of new high-potential investment theme ideas, which can be subjected to further rigorous analysis.
Validating Themes and Deepening Insight
LPs and investment committees expect investment themes to be thoroughly characterized and supported by extensive data that fully tells the story behind the theme. We bring a highly analytical and data-driven approach to investment theme analysis that generally looks five to ten years into the future to define a theme’s risks and opportunities throughout and beyond an entire hold period. Structural tailwinds and drivers, market size, segmentation and growth rates, customer health, underlying value proposition outlook, technology trends, and many other analyses and frameworks are fundamental parts of validating any investment theme.
