According to Calpers their fund returned 40.8%, 32.2%, and 49.5% respectively for vintage years 2012, 2015, and 2018. That's some insane performance and I'm wondering if anyone here has any insight into the accuracy of these numbers. If they check out, what has made their performance so great? For reference, H&F's best fund (2011) stood at 24.7% and Blackstone's and Apollo's best were in the mid-30%, but this was from pre-2008. What's Clearlake's edge? How have they been so consistently high-performing?

 

Dumpster fire of a PE fund and will most likely be the first to blow up.
