Pre-selection data for the awards is provided by multiple data sources, based on annualised returns over the 12 months from April 1st – March 31st, 2024, by funds in the below categories
1. The manager award categories include N American-based single-manager and multi-manager funds with a track record of more than 3 years.
2. Nominations for all categories are based on performance numbers being reported during the last 12-month period from April 1st – March 31st, 2024.
3. Final performance awards are based on the highest performing net IRRs and money multiple returns based on the latest available data to March 31st, 2024.
Managers will only be considered for selection if they report performance data to popular industry data sources. To find out more about this process, please contact: events@privateequitywire.com.

Based on voting from within the industry itself, the results help you to make decisions and choices that can add value to your own business.
