Each year, we seek to refresh our approach when it comes to providing the most

comprehensive rankings of private equity and venture capital firms’ activity,

as well as affiliated service providers. Accordingly, we’ve decided to remove

redundancies by adding rankings of the most active advisors and law firms in

general mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity to the following pages, as well

as making the PitchBook Global League Tables a quarterly publication. That way

we can not only house all the essential rankings from the most active law firms

by regions to investment banks by deal type in one central document for easier

reference but also update it more frequently. Plus, as the Global League Tables

shall typically fall at the end of the first month in a given quarter, there is ample

time allowed for all firms to get in touch with us to ensure that their placement

is accurately represented. To that end, if you wish to contact us regarding this

specific report, please contact us at [email protected], but if you wish

instead to inquire as to our general survey process, please send your questions

to [email protected].

METHODOLOGY

LEAGUE TABLES

All league tables are compiled using the count of completed deals for the specified deal type, region and/or other

criteria.

PRIVATE EQUITY DEALS The report includes all PE investments (buyout, growth, PIPE, recapitalization and add-on), excluding real estate investments. Only investments made directly by PE investors or their portfolio companies are counted. Buyout deals are defined as transactions in which the PE investor receives a controlling ownership stake in the target company. Growth deals are defined as minority investments. Add-on deals are defined as acquisitions by companies with private equity backing.

VENTURE CAPITAL DEALS This report includes all VC investments (including seed/angel). Only investments made directly by VCs, incubators/accelerators and angels are counted. Venture rounds tracked as accelerator/incubator are not included. As our league tables are based on round classifications, financings by investors such as corporate VC arms are included.

LENDERS

Lender league tables look at completed PE deals the lender provided debt financing for in a given time period or region. The transaction must involve equity provided by a PE firm. In league tables for debt-only financings, the transaction must involve debt financing to a company that is PE-backed or VC-backed.

SERVICE PROVIDERS

Service provider (SP) league tables are compiled using the same criteria for deals as the other league tables. Transactions are not counted twice, meaning if the SP provided the same service to both the investor and company on one deal, it would only receive credit for one deal in the rankings, not two.

EXITS

Exit league tables take into account both full and partial exits via corporate acquisition, secondary private equity buyout and IPO. Dividend recapitalizations are not taken into account in the report.

INDUSTRIES & SECTORS

Companies tracked by PitchBook have a primary industry, as well as secondary industries. For this report, the primary industry was used to determine rankings by industry and sector.
