The purpose of this dissertation is to study the impact on the operating performance of the Portuguese Companies that have received a participation of Private Equity Funds after the financial crisis of 2013. After this crisis, conversely to what has occurred in Europe, the PE activity in Portugal has increased on a regular basis. Using a sample of 100 transactions, clear evidence was found that Private Equity activity prevails on the domestic domain in Portugal.In order to meet the goal proposed I studied the operating performance before and after the transaction was carried out. During the pre-transaction period, the companies that received Private Equity sponsorship were those that grew (in terms of assets and sales) and that invested (higher CAPEX) more. In post-transaction period, Private Equity backed companies still experienced a growth in their total assets and total sales, but investment suffered a decrease. These companies also experienced a significant increase in the number of employees.To assess their performance, five ratios were used: return on assets, return on sales, asset turnover, CAPEX/Total Sales ratio and Total Debt/Total Assets ratio measuring the operating performance, profitability, productivity, investment, and capital structure, respectively.After analysing the results, we can see that the performance of the Private Equity backed companies has worsened.

520 $a O objetivo desta dissertacao e estudar o impacto no desempenho operacional das empresas portuguesas que receberam uma participacao de Fundos de Private Equity apos a crise financeira de 2013. Apos esta crise financeira, contrariamente ao que se verificou na Europa, a atividade de Private Equity em Portugal teve uma tendencia regular crescente. Usando uma amostra de 100 transacoes foi encontrada uma evidencia de que a atividade de Private Equity em Portugal prevalece no dominio domestico.Para atingir o objetivo proposto estudei o desempenho operacional antes e depois da transacao ser consumada. Pre-transacao, as empresas que receberam investimento de Private Equity foram aquelas que cresceram mais (em termos de ativos e vendas) e investiram (CAPEX maior) mais. Pos-transacao, as empresas apoiadas por Private Equity ainda experimentaram um crescimento no total dos seus ativos e das suas vendas totais, mas o investimento sofreu uma queda. Essas empresas tiveram um aumento significativo no numero de funcionarios.Para avaliar o desempenho foram utilizados cinco racios. return on assets, return on sales, asset turnover, CAPEX/Vendas Totais e Divida Total/Total de Ativos que medem desempenho operacional, rentabilidade, produtividade, investimento e estrutura de capital, respetivamente.Apos a analise destes racios, podemos ver que o desempenho das empresas apoiadas por Private Equity piorou.
