The 2024 SPS Deal Origination Benchmark Report (DOBR) is an annual publication received by each qualifying SPS client comparing its Market Coverage to a peer group of similar private equity firms and the overall industry.
The report provides detailed analysis on each sponsor’s deal sourcing strategy relative to its peers, allowing the firm to gauge its performance and prioritize specific areas for additional focus in the year ahead. It is the industry standard, delivering unparalleled insight to each sponsor’s efficacy for originating deals.
Key findings from this year's edition include:
-
Consistent Market Coverage amid a slight increase in deal flow.
-
Rising deal fatigue as PE pipeline closing rates decline and time to close increases.
-
Declining relevancy of deals to firms' investment criteria, indicating increasing selectivity.
- Amplified add-on activity, while platform acquisitions have decreased.
