In Miami this week, QIC’s Head of US, Private Equity Matt Diestel joined panellists at iConnections Global Alts conference on a panel titled “Growth Equity: A Goldilocks Option?” Matt talked to QIC’s view that venture-backed growth and growth equity investment strategies offer a compelling proposition; however, he noted, the right playbook is nuanced.    “We find the ability to access high-growth businesses at an inflection point, where capital can accelerate scale, optimize operations and unlock markets, to be attractive in today's environment. But while the opportunity is attractive, growth does not always equal efficiency. The best investors know that revenue expansion must be paired with sustainable fundamentals like scalable go-to-market strategies, disciplined capital allocation and a clear path to profitability."   Panellists include Michael Patanella, Grant Thornton (US); Martin Escobari, General Atlantic; Darren Cohen, Goldman Sachs; Jim Pittman, BCI

Martin was joined on the panel "Growth Equity: A Goldilocks Option” alongside Darren Cohen, Co-Head & CIO, Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Asset Management; Jim Pittman, EVP, Global Head of Private Equity at BCI; and Matt Diestel, Partner and Head of US at QIC.
