Most consistent performing alternative asset fund managers

Using data from the recently released 2015 Preqin Alternative Assets Performance Monitor, Preqin has created league tables of alternative asset fund managers that have most consistently outperformed their peers. The league tables do not seek in any way to endorse these fund managers, but rather to illustrate those that have performed the most consistently in the past. Six primary strategies have been presented – buyout, venture capital, mezzanine, real estate, infrastructure and natural resources – with venture capital seeing the most fund managers achieve the highest possible score.

The league tables of consistent performers are compiled using only the funds for which Preqin has performance data and has assigned a quartile ranking. 2013, 2014 and 2015 vintage funds have been excluded as these funds are too early in their fund lives to generate a meaningful IRR. The lists are restricted to active fund managers that have raised at least three funds of a similar strategy, and have either raised a fund in the past six years or are currently raising a fund of a similar strategy to their predecessor fund. Preqin assigns quartile rankings to private equity funds based on both the multiple and IRR, taking into account the fund vintage, strategy and geographic focus.

Top-quartile funds are given a score of one, second-quartile funds are given a score of two, and so on. An average quartile ranking is then calculated.
