Rewarding fund performance and service provider excellence across credit funds

Thursday 16 May 2024 | etc. venues, County Hall, London

#PEWCreditAwards

For more than a decade, Private Equity Wire has been recognising excellence in the fields of fundraising, portfolio performance, and service provision.


An allocator board, peer surveys, editorial expertise, and data analysis go into selecting our winners, helping us build one of the industry’s most influential awards programmes.


Each event is an opportunity for celebration, networking and, most importantly, recognition attended by an exclusive list of 100+ C-suite leaders from the GP, LP, and service provider communities.


With private credit’s astronomical rise to prominence as an asset class recently, it’s more important than ever to recognise those at the forefront of its evolution. Join us as we identify the leaders in a booming industry.


Why should you participate?

Make informed decisions, meet the best people, build the right relationships.


For Investors

Find out which GPs are outperforming across a range of AUM brackets, investment strategies and geographies. Learn who’s serving them most effectively.


For Managers

Put yourself on the radar of keen investors and meet service providers that can help your business grow and scale up effectively.


For Service Providers

Your chance to shine in front of the entire investor and manager community, while also tracking which firms and strategies are on the up.

Methodology

Pre-selection data for the awards is provided by Bloomberg, based on annualised returns over the 12 months from January 1st – December 31st 2023 by funds in the below categories. Nominations in various award categories are further split by size and strategy as specified in the award name.

  1. The manager award categories include UK and European-based single-manager and multi-manager funds with a track record of more than 3 years.
  2. Nominations for all categories are based on annualised performance over a 12-month period from 1st January – 31st December 2023.
  3. The three Credit Hedge Fund of the Year categories are based on performance metrics over the three year period ending 31st December 2023.
  4. Our expert judging panel will have the final input on the Management Company and Credit Hedge Fund of the Year awards, with a majority decision being accepted for the winners.
  5. Managers will only be considered for selection if they report performance data to Bloomberg and /or Pitchbook. To find out more about this process, please contact events@privateequitywire.co.uk.

For the service provider categories, the nominated firms are based on a widespread survey of more than 100 credit fund managers and other key industry participants.
