This list is laughably bad.

Warburg should be top tier, one of the last remaining private MFs which means good things for comp in the long run.

Vista on the list but no Thoma? Seems wild to split hairs between those two, they should absolutely be together.

Like someone else mentioned, no H&F shows how terrible this list is, anyone in industry would put them in tier 1 or tier 2 at worst.
