The Kroll Global Private Equity Risk Index ranks the 300 largest private equity firms in the world against five key risk pillars: Environmental Impacts, Social Issues, Governance Failures, Financial Insecurity and Cyber Attacks, analyzing risk signals within digital chatter across the surface, deep and dark web. The index is released quarterly.

Key findings include:

  • Digital chatter about a risk event impacting a private equity firm can go undetected, on average, for a period of six months before escalating into a crisis.
  • Governance failures pose a growing risk to private equity firms, resulting from a high frequency of perceived poorly managed restructuring and redundancy events.
  • Global risk events have heightened private equity firm exposure overall, increasing digital chatter relating to climate change, social unrest and monetary insecurity.

As the term implies, digital chatter is the summation of conversations happening online that take place across the surface, deep and dark web. It includes open or indexed and closed or dark social media channels as well as forums and messaging apps. Today, risks to private equity emerge via digital chatter faster than ever before, making it an essential source of risk detection for due diligence and ongoing value protection against:
