  • The Quiet Consolidation Of Commercial Roofing

    Private equity has quietly moved into commercial roofing, a sector defined by fragmented local operators and sticky B2B contracts.

About Private Equity Conversations with Fexingo: PE Funds, Buyouts, and Long-Hold Investing

From the publisher's feed

Lucas and Luna sit down at the partner desk to examine the mechanics of private equity — buyout structures, fund economics, and long-hold strategies. Each episode dissects a single deal or fund, from the LBO model that acquired Dollar General in 2007 to the multi-decade hold of Constellation Software by Leonard Green. Lucas brings the numbers: IRR calculations, fee waterfalls, and debt-to-EBITDA ratios. Luna pushes back on the human side — why a founder sells, how the PE firm reshapes governance, and whether long-hold investing actually reduces the perverse incentives of the traditional 10-year fund cycle. Together, they balance the technical with the strategic, always anchored in real cases. This show is for the analyst who wants to understand accretion vs. dilution, the GP who questions carried interest structures, and the LP trying to differentiate between value creation and multiple expansion. No fundraising pitches, no off-the-record gossip — just a rigorous, two-sided conversation about how PE actually works, and whether it works for whom. Will the rise of continuation funds solve the liquidity problem or entrench conflicts of interest?
