Investment banks use league tables to rank who has the highest dollar volume of deals in debt, equity, syndicated loans and M&A activity. Unfortunately (or fortunately if you are sick of hearing about league tables) there really hasn't been a ranking system to evaluate the private equity industry. Perhaps the closest thing we have are the rankings put out by Private Equity International (PEI). According to PEI, the current rankings of the top 5 private equity firms in the world by funds raised since 2002:
- Carlyle Group - $32.5 billion (founder David Rubenstein pictured above)
- Kohlberg Kravis Roberts - $31.1 billion
- Goldman Sachs - $31 billion
- Blackstone Group - $28.4 billion
- Texas Pacific Group (TPG) - $23.5 billion
Of course Goldman is currently the only publicly traded firm on this list, with Blackstone threatening to become the second . . .
