PERE award selection methodology    

PERE is an editorially driven awards process, meaning their editors review the submission and subjectively decide who the winners are. The criteria they consider are:

• Fundraising and Deployment: Highlighting significant capital raised and invested within the LTM.
• Market Impact: Evidence of innovative strategies, navigating volatility, sector-defining deals, etc.
• Performance Metrics: For specific categories, performance metrics may be considered.

Infrastructure Investor award selection methodology    

Investor of the Year categories are decided based on the firm's activities during the 12-month judging period, prioritizing milestones like funds that reached a final close, deals (both acquisitions and exits) closed on during the 12-month period, and also deals announced that might not have yet closed, and other significant events. The Deal of the Year categories aim to reward deals that are of particular importance during the 12-month judging period, not only in terms of size but also impact in the industry. The Innovator of the Year category concerns milestones achieved by the firm during the judging period that we feel have helped move the asset class forward and are unique in their scope.
