In what has been a year of extreme turmoil and unprecedented challenges, the team at Private Equity Wire is very pleased to announce the winners of this year’s Private Equity Wire US Awards, compiled in conjunction with Bloomberg.

The winners represent the best in the US private equity industry, from GPs to service providers, covering all the various parts of the private equity ecosystem. 

Our partners in the awards, Bloomberg, provided the data on which the nominations for the top-performing private equity fund managers were based across a range of asset classes and investment strategies.

The GP nominee shortlists, along with those for the service provider categories, were then voted on by the industry. This means that winning a Private Equity Wire award constitutes a vote of recognition from your peers and a significant mark of achievement, particularly so in this extraordinary year.
