Celebrating the best and most successful firms in private equity
Each year, the PEI Awards celebrate the best in class across firms, funds, deals, exits and more. A new voting process was implemented for the 2024 awards in recognition of the growing scope, complexity and excellence of the private markets: this year, a judging panel comprising PEI Group editors painstakingly selected the winners and runners-up from hundreds of submissions. Here, we celebrate those that made the cut.
