Cubera ranked European #1 in independent fund-of-funds assessment
Cubera Private Equity has been recognized as a global leader and the standout European performer at sixth place in the HEC Paris-Dow Jones Performance Ranking of Private Equity Fund-of-Funds.
The ranking lists the world’s Top Fund of Funds in terms of aggregate performance and answers the question: “Which private equity fund of funds generated the best performance for their investors, over the past years?”
Cubera Private Equity is the only European private equity fund-of-funds manager among the top ten and one of best buyout fund-of funds manager globally as the top five spots are taken up by US growth/venture capital focused fund-of-funds managers.
In total, HEC Paris analyzed performance data, considering both relative and absolute returns, from 109 private fund-of-funds firms - including Cubera's International funds data - and the 733 funds with an aggregate equity volume of $223bn they raised between 2008 and 2017.
Since 2009, HEC Paris and Dow Jones have joined forces to publish regular rankings of private equity firms, based on their historic performance and expected future competitiveness.
"There is a lot of evidence that good fund-of-funds are adding meaningful amounts of added value", says Oliver Gottschalg, Professor of Strategy and Business Policy, HEC School of Management, Paris.

It reflects the distinguished selection methodology refined by the Cubera team over many years. We are committed to continuing to raise the bar to deliver best-in-class results for our investors", says Thomas Wold, Senior Partner and Head of Primaries at Cubera.
