Buyouts Emerging Manager Survey 2020: Methodology and respondent profile

Over 100 fund managers and more than 60 institutional investors contributed to the Buyouts Emerging Manager Survey 2020 produced with Gen II Fund Services.

Field work for the survey was conducted between May 8 and June 12, 2020. A total of 105 managers, self-selected as “emerging managers,” who indicated they are raising or have raised funds of $100 million or greater, are included. Managers raising funds less than $100 million were excluded to best represent managers focused on raising institutional capital. A total of 61 institutional investors with a self-identified appetite for emerging managers were surveyed. Incomplete surveys were reviewed for inclusion in the sample on a respondent-by-respondent basis.
