tbh the best performing PE fund of all time is most likely not going to be any of the UMM/MFs
It's most likely some random lmm shop in the middle of nowhere
I would assume that generally the bigger a fund is, the lower the returns are on average.
Definitely true. Very evident comparing 2000’s vintages Vs. 2010’s vintages.
Well yeah. Its more impressive to get high returns at a larger fund over multiple decades and vehicles.
Comparing a MF to LMM in PE is like comparing Warren Buffett to a 14 yr old with robinhood in public equities.
Maybe a better phrased question would be which funds have generated the highest and most consistent $ in carry.
This. Know a 'no name' fund in the HC space (their most recent fund being in the 300-500M range) that absolutely kills it on returns. Know some of the investors personally at my previous job and they seemed very happy with the returns.

Two of Riverside’s vintages from the early 2010s did like 12x and 7x gross
Every Veritas flagship fund is top decile in its vintage. I don’t think there’s another sponsor anywhere that can say that.
I believe every Alpine fund is 3.0x+net, which probably puts it in that category
Touche, I think you're right about Alpine.
