The client

At a leading U.S.-based private equity firm, Owlin has become a core part of the team’s information toolkit. From monitoring developments within their portfolio to tracking market sentiment around potential deals and competitors, the firm uses Owlin’s private equity newsletter with curated newsfeeds to stay ahead of risk and act quickly on emerging opportunities.

The challenge

In private equity, access to timely, relevant information is critical, whether you’re monitoring a portfolio company, evaluating a potential acquisition, or tracking competitor activity. However, manually keeping up with all developments across multiple industries and markets is time-consuming and often inconsistent.

The investment team needed a scalable way to surface what matters, without drowning in irrelevant headlines or relying on outdated reporting cycles.

The solution

Teams integrated Owlin’s customizable news monitoring via curated newsletters into their daily workflows. This gave them:

• Tailored watchlists to track portfolio companies, target investments, and key market players;
• Real-time alerts about reputational risks, regulatory shifts, and strategic moves;
• Digestible summaries that surface only the most material developments.

Owlin became a go-to source of insight for deal teams, portfolio operations, and leadership.

By adopting Owlin, the firm improved its ability to respond to risks and opportunities in real time. Key benefits included:

• More proactive portfolio monitoring with early visibility into emerging issues;
• Faster, more informed deal evaluations based on up-to-date external signals;
• More substantial internal alignment and boardroom discussions, anchored in timely insights;
• Improved strategic positioning by tracking moves across the competitive landscape.
