We are delighted to announce the winners of this year’s Private Equity Wire European Awards, compiled in conjunction with Bloomberg.

We are delighted to announce the winners of this year’s Private Equity Wire European Awards, compiled in conjunction with Bloomberg.

The Private Equity Wire European Awards 2021 recognise excellence and leadership among private equity fund managers and service providers in Europe across a wide range of categories.

The GP award categories, for performance and fundraising success, cover a broad spectrum of investment strategies and asset classes – including Buyout (Large-Cap and Mid-Cap), Growth, Funds of Funds, Secondaries, Private Debt, Co-Investment, Real Estate, and Real Assets – while the service provider award categories span all the key areas of the broader private equity ecosystem.

Our partners in the awards, Bloomberg, provided the fund performance and fundraising data on which the nominations for best debt private equity fund managers were based.

These GP nominee shortlists, together with the pre-selected shortlists for the service provider categories, were then voted on by the industry in an extensive poll of the entire Private Equity Wire readership over several weeks.

Voted for by participants within the private equity industry itself, the Private Equity Wire Awards are a valuable mark of recognition and respect among peers, advisors, and counterparties – highlighting the achievements and successes of the leaders in a vibrant and highly competitive industry.

All the winners are invited to a virtual Awards ceremony and networking event that includes a welcome address from Private Equity Wire editor-in-chief James Williams, and a ‘fireside chat’ with Dr Christian Bohler and David Swanson – head of secondaries, and head of secondaries in the US, at Unigestion.
