Private Equity Wire has announced the winners of the Private Equity Wire US Emerging Manager Awards 2023, which recognise excellence among private equity emerging fund managers and service providers.
Voting for the awards, which were presented today (30 March) at an exclusive ceremony and networking event at Convene 101 Park Avenue, New York, was conducted via an online poll of the entire Private Equity Wire userbase, where participants were asked to make their choice among the shortlisted firms in each category.
The GP manager categories cover fund performance and fundraising success by firms across a range of private markets investment strategies – including buyout, growth, fund of funds, secondaries, co-investment, debt, real estate and real assets. The service provider categories span all the key areas of the broader private equity industry.
The pre-selection data for the fund manager shortlist was provided by Bloomberg. Candidates in all categories – Fundraising and Performance – were determined using the methodology outlined here.
For the service provider categories, the nominated firms were based on a widespread survey of more than 100 GPs and other key industry participants.
