Private Equity Advisory for Investors and Corporates
Independent PE fund due diligence, co-investment support, and portfolio strategy — helping institutional investors build high-quality private equity exposure.
Private Equity Advisory
Private equity fund selection is one of the most consequential decisions an institutional investor makes. The difference between top-quartile and median PE performance can be enormous — and the information gap between GPs and LPs remains significant.
BB Advisory provides independent private equity advisory to institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices. We cover the full PE investment lifecycle: manager identification, fund due diligence, co-investment evaluation, and portfolio monitoring.
We also support PE-backed companies and founders on sell-side processes and fundraising advisory — drawing on our M&A and transaction experience across multiple sectors and geographies.
Genuinely independent advisory
BB Advisory does not manage funds, accept placement fees, or hold financial interests in the managers we evaluate. Our advice is free from conflicts — our sole obligation is to our clients' investment success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our private equity advisory services.
What is private equity fund due diligence?
Private equity fund due diligence is the process of evaluating a PE fund opportunity on behalf of an LP investor — covering investment strategy, team quality, historical track record, portfolio performance, deal sourcing, fund economics, and governance.
What types of PE funds does BB Advisory evaluate?
BB Advisory evaluates buyout funds, growth equity funds, sector-specialist PE funds, and co-investment opportunities — primarily in European and global markets, for LP investors based in Germany, Europe, and the Middle East.
What is the difference between VC and PE fund advisory?
VC and PE fund advisory follow similar due diligence frameworks but differ in the metrics and risk factors assessed. VC advisory focuses heavily on early-stage portfolio construction, team networks, and failure tolerance, while PE advisory emphasises operational value creation, leverage, and return attribution from historical transactions.
How does BB Advisory support PE co-investment decisions?
For PE co-investments, BB Advisory provides commercial due diligence on the target company, assessment of the GP's investment thesis, deal structure review, and investment recommendation — enabling LP investors to make well-informed participation decisions alongside a GP lead.
