For 14 years, HEC has analyzed the performance of buyout-focused private equity funds producing a highly respected annual ranking of top-performing funds. Due to the growing importance of the growth equity asset class, HEC has quantitatively analyzed performance data from 208 growth capital firms across 390 funds raised over a decade period to produce the inaugural ranking of the top 20 global growth equity firms. The analysis is led by Professor Oliver Gottschalg, who has developed a methodology that aggregates performance across vintage years and considers relative and absolute net fund returns.
