A Look at the Top 25 PE Firms

PE firms sometimes take a bad rap, but many well-known companies have been saved by PE firms including Hilton, Toys'R'Us, and Energy Future Holdings.

In 2019, PE firms raised almost a trillion dollars, though the rate has dipped in 2020.

That being said, the largest PE firm - Blackstone - has raised almost $100B over the past 5 years. 

I expect PE to be much more active in 2021. 

How about you?
