CEO Connection® has announced its 2017 list recognizing private equity firms that are most effective for mid-market companies. The Top Private Equity Firms for the Mid-Market list highlights firms that invest in mid-market companies with a vision of strategic partnership, bringing them results-oriented expertise and focus on what is best for the next phase of growth.
"We believe these firms personify the spirit of the mid-market," said CEO Connection CEO Kenneth Beck. "In the true symbiotic nature of the CEO Connection community, honoring them will help all of us promote the mid-market."
Eleven of the 2017 firms also made the list in 2016, the inaugural year. The list was developed in response to membership interest in this area, namely private equity as a source of capital for mid-market growth.
The private equity firms were evaluated on five metrics: Commitment to the Mid-Market, Partnership Effectiveness, Financial Performance, Resources and Social Impact. For the complete list, visit www.midmarketrankings.com/private-equity-list/.
Comprised of nearly 20,000 publicly and privately held companies, the mid-market represents an integral piece of the U.S. economy, employing more than 30 million people and generating approximately $10 trillion of the $30 trillion of annual gross receipts.
Members of the 2017 Top Private Equity Firms for the Mid-Market will be recognized at the annual CEO Connection® Mid-Market Convention held in conjunction with the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania Sept. 24-27. This exclusive global gathering features hundreds of CEOs, political leaders and business experts convening to discuss issues and challenges for mid-market companies.
