Missed the latest episode of PE Market Pulse? Our Private Equity Assurance Leader, Braham Moondi, CPA, CA, was joined by Liam Cheung, Managing Director at Kensington Capital Partners Limited.

With a similar economic and operating culture, these investors are here to stay. 3) Back to basics for retail and consumer businesses —They’re asking who their core clients are, how do their products meet the needs of their core customers, how they can meet their customers’ needs and wants to generate loyalty and retention.
