We've been working with investors for over fifteen years helping them deploy capital into the K-twelve secondtor. We've seen the universe of potential investors into K-twelve evolve over the last few years. From pure private equity, we've seen long term capital providers, including sovereign wealth funds, wanting to enter the sector. The questions that investors are asking are also becoming more nuanced.
Rather than focusing purely on the commercial performance of the portfolio, looking at how enrollment and fees have grown, looking at how platforms have been able to add capacity in attractive markets, and looking at how they've managed through difficult market conditions such as COVID. The focus has shifted to understanding the platform's operational capabilities in more detail.
Today investors are increasingly asking questions on safeguarding policies and practices, the use of technology in the classroom but also at headquarters, governance and succession planning, and of course the ability to recruit high quality teachers over the long term. We're also getting many more questions around education quality. Are these schools actually delivering the outcomes that they're paying for? Are they getting value for money? And are they sending their students to the right universities?
We expect twenty twenty five to be another busy year for the k-twelve secondtor as global platforms continue to grow not only through M and A but through greenfield and they continue to raise capital to support the growth.
