PERT’s mission is to lead middle-market private equity professionals through the changing operational landscape.
Created in 2014, ACG's Private Equity Regulatory Taskforce (PERT) gathers together CFOs, CCOs, COOs, and GCs of middle-market private equity firms. Together, they interpret and navigate complex finance, operational, and compliance issues. PERT members have access to a national peer-to-peer network focused on shaping best practices for those responsible for leading the business of private equity.
"The ACG Private Equity Regulatory Task Force provides a critical framework for educating and connecting the middle-market private equity community."
