How does MBB decide which PE funds can be clients?

MBB’s ringfence seems to always be sold out and constantly have to turn down PE/HF clients for prioritized clients. It also seems that the usual clients always get priority so the pool of PE funds MBB diligences is quite small. Just curious, how does MBB pick the PE clients they prioritize? Size? Prestige? Arbitrary?
