I'd say GIP and Brookfield are at the top (latest fund size and past deals in tricky sectors / geographies is indicative of that). MIRA is also a global behemoth. Then you have KKR, Blackstone, Stonepeak and all the other MFs. Believe that for the most part, except for MIRA, most of the aforementioned names offer similar comp.
