The HEC-Dow Jones 2012 rankings were published on Nov 5, 2012.
These rankings rate which firms generated the best performance for
their investors over the past years. The analysis was done by
Professor Oliver Gottschalg of HEC Business School in Paris and
lists the world's top private equity firms in terms of aggregate
performance, based on all funds raised between 1999 and 2008. In
total, performance data from 350 private equity firms and the 659
funds they raised between 1999 and 2008 with an aggregate equity
volume of USD 1,070 billion was analyzed. The survey has been
undertaken annually since 2009 and is one of the most advanced
methods ever calculated to measure private equity performance.
