Returns for these funds are all over the place, hard to find one that’s been consistently outperforming for 3-4 vintages..

But i’d say CIP, EQT, MSIP, Asterion, Ancala are all good names in Europe. 

 

EQT is in a bit of trouble in Germany and France with some fairly large investments. Obviously big funds etc. but I think I’d be cautious taking a job there atm. Odd not to mention Stonepeak, who can do some flexible capital and play in more value-add
