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.

  • The 35 Most Sought-After Managers
    The 35 Most Sought-After Managers US Large LBO - Q3 2017 First in the Secondary Market. Introduction The ‘Most Sought-After Manager Rankings’ are published by Setter on a quarterly and semi-annual basis to capture the ebb and flow of secondary demand across various fund strategies and geographies. The rankings are largely based on the Setter Liquidity Rating, which assigns funds a rating of Excellent, Very Good, Good or Unrated depending on the number of secondary buyers that want to buy and/or have recently priced a given fund. Please see Definitions at the end of this report for more details. The number of interested buyers for a given fund are determined by Setter’s team of professionals who passionately track the ever changing shortlists and demand of over 1300 secondary buyers both directly and via SecondaryLink.com, where buyers can enter their shortlists and connect with agents and access deals through the Deal Section. From a primary perspective, the ‘Most Sought-After Manager Rankings’ provide a unique perspective as strong secondary market demand suggests a fund manager is popular among LPs and low secondary market demand may signal diminishing market sentiment and additional future liquidity risk.
