The HEC Paris-DowJones Private Equity Performance Ranking is an annual quantitative performance ranking created by HEC Paris Business School and DowJones and is authored by HEC Paris strategy professor Oliver Gottschalg. Performance data is gathered from Preqin or from data directly provided to HEC Paris for the purpose of the rankings. The list is gathered from performance data, as of December 2022, from 563 PE firms and the 2021 funds they raised between 2009 and 2018. The final list recognizes the top 20 global firms.

*For further detail on the ranking, including the study’s methodology, please see the complete performance rankings: https://bit.ly/3Zojwcd. This ranking analyzed aggregate performance based on buyout funds raised between 2009 and 2018 (2022 study), 2008 and 2017 (2021 study) & 2007 and 2016 (2020 study) by managers who had raised at least $3 billion in aggregate, had 10 observation years (sum of the age of all funds), and had at least two funds raised 2009-2018 (2022 study), 2008-2017 (2021 study) & 2007-2016 (2020 study) with full performance available. The criteria were applied to 563 (2022 study), 517 (2021 study), and 529 (2020 study) private equity firms which reported performance to HEC or for which Preqin data was available, resulting in a ranking of 75 firms (2022 study), 64 firms (2021 study) & 102 firms (2020 study).
