This year’s ranking analyzed performance data from 183 growth capital firms and 440 funds raised between 2012 and 2021, representing an aggregate equity volume of $351 billion.

Global Ranking: Top 20 (out of 183) Growth Capital Firms

The ranking draws on a comprehensive set of data on PE fund performance provided by Preqin and directly from PE Firms, using a unique methodology to calculate the aggregate performance of a PE firm based on different performance measures for all the funds managed by the firm. The method is able to aggregate performance across vintage years and considers relative and absolute returns.

This global distinction is a testament not only to our team but also to the founders, management teams, and portfolio companies we are fortunate to partner with. Thank you to all our partners for your continued trust and support.
