This ranking answers the question: “Which firm(s) generated the best performance for their investors over the past years?” The ranking draws on a comprehensive set of data on PE fund performance provided by preqin and directly from PE Firms and uses a unique methodology to calculate the aggregate performance of a PE firm based on difference performance measures for all the funds managed by this firm. The method is able to aggregate performance across vintage years and considers relative and absolute returns. In total, we analyzed performance data from 502 PE firms and the 898 funds they raised between 2005 and 2014 with an aggregate equity volume of $1.293bn. 1 The Ranking: Top 20 out of over 502 PE Firms Rank Firm Performance Score 1 Thoma Bravo 2.28 2 Waterland Private Equity Investments 1.98 3 Clayton, Dubilier & Rice 1.68 4 Advent International 0.98 5 Hellman & Friedman 0.90 6 ABRY Partners 0.89 7 American Securities 0.89 8 Platinum Equity 0.81 9 Vista Equity Partners 0.80 10 AEA Investors 0.58 11 Silver Lake 0.56 12 Audax Group 0.51 13 Francisco Partners 0.42 14 Equistone 0.32 15 TDR Capital 0.30 16 Vitruvian Partners 0.30 17 Madison Dearborn Partners 0.27 18 Permira 0.27 19 Berkshire Partners 0.27 20 Leonard Green & Partners 0.26 2 Introduction The Private Equity industry is notorious for being opaque and access to any data is chronically difficult.

    GrowthCap 40 Under 40 | November 2016 GROWTHCAP INSIGHTS 2016 Top 40 Under 40 Growth Investors It gives us great pleasure to announce GrowthCap’s 2016 40 Under 40 Growth Investors list. Those appearing in this year’s list were first nominated by their firm, their peers or by GrowthCap. They were then evaluated based on breadth of experience (volume of completed deals, capital invested, number of exits, and realized returns, among other factors) as well as qualitative aspects contributing to their overall effectiveness working with peers, CEOs, LPs and deal professionals. We realized after the publication of our 2014 and 2015 lists, the influence the list can have on LPs evaluating new fund investments or CEOs deciding on prospective capital partners. In particular, the list has been helpful to large family offices in identifying talented investors in the growth equity asset class. The large majority of this year’s nominees provided information on their professional background and investment experience, which played a key role in our selection process and ranking methodology. GrowthCap also conducted interviews with select nominees and in some cases, has had the benefit of direct experience working with nominated individuals and/or represented firms. - RJ Lumba, Managing Partneraaaaa Clockwise from top left: Kapil Venkatachalam (Technology Crossover Ventures), Jason Werlin (TA Associates), Mohamad Makhzoumi (New Enterprise Associates), Chris Adams (Francisco Partners) Page 1 GrowthCap 40 Under 40 | November 2016 Kapil Venkatachalam joined Technology Crossover Ventures in 2006 as an 1 associate and now works as a general partner for the firm.
