PORTFOLIO COMPANY COMMENTARY “The focus on excellence is palpable throughout Lovell Minnick. And that excellence is really translated through empathy and the ability to judge people, their ability to be instinctive evaluators of people, instinctive investors understanding the human aspects of what it takes to build a great company, which they have, which they've done and they've helped us do.
I couldn't ask for more thoughtful evaluators and supporters of people in the financial services space.”
Jake Silverman

Important Disclosures (1) The pre-selection criteria for Private Equity Wire’s “Best Buyout Manager (fund size up to $2.5bn)” award shortlist was provided by Bloomberg. Candidates were determined as follows: (i) the fund manager universe included all funds managed by US-headquartered GPs, (ii) all funds in each category were grouped into their respective vintages and ranked on the basis of their net IRRs as at the end of 2020, (iii) for the performance categories, five vintages of funds were analyzed (2015-2019), (iv) all GPs that had more than one fund ranked among the top performers across those five vintages were shortlisted for that category, and (v) for the asset band groupings, asset thresholds were based on the respective individual fund sizes – not the overall assets under management of the GP in that category. Voting for the eventual winners was then conducted via an extensive online poll of the Private Equity Wire readership over a period of several weeks. (2) Inc.'s Founder-Friendly Investor list is comprised of firms identified by Inc’s editors or submitted to Inc. through an application process. Firms pay an application fee to be considered for this list. Inc. then gathers data on how each firms’ portfolio companies have grown and extensively interviews entrepreneurs, including those who've exited, on their experiences with the firms. and produces a proprietary score that determines the private equity, growth equity, and venture capital firms whose missions most significantly support startups and the men and women who found them.
