Nominations invited for the PEI Awards 2016

The Private Equity International Awards 2016 are the private equity market’s most comprehensive, and the only ones voted on entirely by industry participants.

The process to determine Private Equity International’s annual industry award winners has now begun and, this year, it comes with a twist.

Our awards continue to be the industry's chance to pick out the top managers, investors, advisors and transactions of the last 12 months. However, this time around, would-be winners are invited to submit entries detailing their greatest achievements from the period.

We will also still be considering those that don’t send in submissions, based on our assessment of their achievements in the last year.

This year's awards encompass 65 categories for evaluation across EMEA, the Americas and Asia Pacific. Besides our long-standing categories, there are new categories, including Turkey Firm of the Year and Law Firm of the Year (Secondaries).

Following extensive internal evaluation and debate, the prevailing nominations will be published as a shortlist. You will have your chance to vote from the top four nominees in each category in an open process that is independent of sponsors or judges. The winners will reflect the esteem in which they are held by peers.

Firms should use this confidential link to tell PEI about their milestones in the past 12 months by November 17th for consideration. Shortlists will be revealed and voting opens in early December.
