Field work for the sixth annual Buyouts Emerging Manager Survey, conducted in partnership with Gen II Fund Services LLC, was carried out between June 30 and August 15, 2022. A total of 127 managers self-selected as “emerging managers” were surveyed.
The initial list was narrowed down to managers that have fundraised or are in the process of fundraising their third fund or fewer. A total of 58 institutional investors with a self-identified appetite for emerging managers were surveyed. Incomplete fund manager and investor surveys were reviewed for inclusion in the sample on a respondent-by-respondent basis.
