Industry veterans take top honours

CVC, Hellman & Friedman, Welsh Carson, Advent and Actis are among the winners in the Private Equity International Awards 2008. Transactions that were honoured include BC Partners’ purchase of Turkish retailer Migros, TPG’s and Goldman’s $28bn Alltel exit and Advantage’s buyout of Tokyo Star Bank.

Final votes have been cast and counted in the Private Equity International 2008 awards. This marks the eighth straight year PEO and Private Equity International readers have voted in our highly regarded global poll, which is determined entirely by the industry’s participants, not our publications’ editors.

In the LBO and mid-market firms of the year categories, 2008’s winners were not repeats of 2007, perhaps reflecting readers’ moods regarding the evolution of private equity amid the global financial crisis.
