What do you consider a small/medium/large PE fund?
Hey everyone,
I am trying to understand how to categorize various PE shops. Do you categorize their size in terms of $ of assets under management? And what is the range in $ difference between a small fund, medium fund and large fund? Better yet, what are the actual terms that you guys use to categorize the size of PE shops?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Prospect in Other, just because I'm a bot doesn't mean I don't have feelings...I'm hoping these links are helpful. If not, feel free to throw monkey shit at me...
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
I think everyone has their own subjective view, which is largely impacted by their previous experiences.
Coming from a LMM IB, I would say: Small: $500 fund size Medium: $500 - $2000 fund size Large >$2000 fund size
Someone coming from a EB/BB might think of any smaller than $1bn as a small fund
Repost:
Mega Fund (recent fund > $5bn) Upper Middle Market (recent fund between $2-5bn) Middle Market (recent fund between $0.5bn-2bn) Lower Middle Market (recent fund $0.5bn)
Though it also depends on avg ticket size and strategy (LBO vs Growth) as well..
Isn’t that a bit too broad for MF? Heard people throw 10b+ around, which really only leaves 7-10 funds
