How we conducted the Buyouts Emerging Manager Survey 2022

More than 120 fund managers and 50 institutional investors contributed to the 2022 Buyouts Emerging Manager Report, produced in partnership with Gen II Fund Services LLC

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.
