Stator was founded for the challenges and opportunities of today.

Responsible investment requires more expertise than ever before.

In a world of changing regulations, pressure to deliver financial performance, and competitive fundraising, Responsible Investment is growing more complex, not less. Stator was founded to connect senior expertise to private equity decisionmakers. While other firms may systematize and productize an approach for junior leverage, we stay disciplined on delivering bespoke service to clients.

Linking Responsible Investment factors to value is done during ownership, but begins in due diligence.

Unlocking value through Responsible Investment requires time and engagement with companies that can’t always be found during due diligence. We believe that diligence is an important part of a Responsible Investment program, but should remain what it is: a review of the critical factors that drive investment decisionmaking. While opportunities may present themselves, we recognize that this is the start of the conversation on value, not the end.

Managing stakeholders is key to creating a resilient and commercially viable program.

We believe that businesses should be working towards Organizational Sustainability, where programs help create resiliency, manage risk, and adapt to challenges and opportunities. This requires a clear view on why a program matters, and who it matters to. Stator’s purpose is to help investors and businesses understand the stakeholders that impact their RI program, contextualize a program against other organizational priorities, and develop systems that are flexible as stakeholder needs change.

Technology is fundamentally changing the consulting landscape - advisory must adapt to reflect new methods of delivery, cost structures, and market demands.

Artificial intelligence and related tools are changing the consulting landscape. Larger firms are struggling to adapt legacy products and talent models to a new reality where research and work product are produced faster and cheaper than ever before. We believe that to succeed, firms need to lean into this trend - finding ways to reduce cost, automate tasks, and integrate technology into deliverables.
