The Private Equity Awards
Recognising the Best in European Private Equity
April 2020 – London
About the Event
Now in their eighteenth year, these awards are the oldest, most respected accolades bestowed on the private equity industry and those that advise it.
Working with Cass Business School and a judging panel of leading industry practitioners, these Awards stand apart in both rigour and prestige and are the ones that GPs – and their advisers – really want to win.

The Process

Deal of the Year and House of the Year Deal of the Year and House of the Year shortlists are assembled following research carried out by Real Deals and Cass Business School, with support from Preqin data. Cass Business School then undertakes further analysis for the Deal categories and conducts in-depth phone interviews with each shortlisted candidate, before presenting their findings to our esteemed panel of judges for final deliberation.
Deal of the Year will be judged by a panel of GP judges and House of the Year categories will be judged by a panel of LP judges.
