Introducing AI in Private Equity

Private equity firms are constantly seeking ways to extract more value from their portfolios. Yet inconsistent reporting, slow due diligence, and fragmented data create bottlenecks that can impact returns. AI agents tackle these challenges by standardising data, analysing deals, forecasting financial outcomes, and automating routine operational and investor reporting tasks.

By combining advanced AI with domain expertise, investment teams can scale their insights, reduce errors, and respond faster to opportunities and risks. This page highlights the most impactful AI agent functions for private equity, showcasing the key agents in each area and how they help teams drive faster, more accurate, and consistent investment decisions.

Executive Opinion

Where will AI create the strongest impact for private equity firms?

"AI will change how investment teams work day to day. The biggest shift is speed: quicker diligence, faster insights, and immediate visibility into portfolio performance. But the real advantage comes from consistency. AI agents produce outputs that don’t vary across teams, geographies, or timelines, which reduces noise and strengthens decision making. The firms that benefit most will be those that build AI into the core of their investment cycle. Not solely for individual analyses, but as part of how deals are evaluated, monitored, and scaled."
