Private Equity International is pleased to announce that nominations are open for its annual rising stars of private equity list. PEI’s 40 under 40: Future Leaders of Private Equity 2024 list will be published online and in our Future of Private Equity Special in May 2024.
The deadline for submissions is end of day Thursday 8 February 2024. Nominations can be submitted here.
The list will feature individuals across five categories:
- Investors (LP)
- Fundraisers
- Dealmakers
- Lawyers
- Operators
Please note the list is 40 in total, not per category.
To be eligible, nominees should be under the age of 40 on 1 May 2024. Nominees should not have appeared in any previous PEI Future 40 list.
PEI’s editorial team will decide the list based on three criteria:
- Evidence of leadership and innovation;
- The calibre of the firms/clients they have worked with and any deals they have generated;
- Whether they possess an X factor that marks them out as a future leader in private equity.
