How the ranking is determined

The firms from across the PEI 300 that made the headlines this year.

The global financial meltdown was a major catalyst in private equity’s move away from financial engineering. The covid-19 pandemic will show how real this move has been.

Outperformance, better alignment with LPs and high-quality dealflow have driven some fund managers to narrow their strategies.

More investors are progressing from syndicated co-investing to co-underwriting as they seek greater control over their private equity portfolios.

The rise of ESG screening and the growth of impact investment managers has paved the way for a new breed of investors.

With almost $2trn raised between them in the last five years, this year’s PEI 300 are armed and ready for the post-coronavirus rebuild.
