HOUSTON, TX – December 5, 2017 – The recent flood of money flowing into PE funds is driving up purchase prices, making superior returns harder to achieve. As Chief Outsiders CEO Art Saxby explains in leading alternative investment news source FINalternatives, strong EBITDA growth is no longer sufficient for success and many in the PE world are more concerned about what inflated valuations mean for the investment's future exit point. Saxby’s insight on why even the best run companies have the hardest time growing offers strong reasoning for shifting to a combination top-line/bottom-line and an overall rethinking of "the way things are always done."
