PEI Group

PEI Group

PEI Group was founded in 1995 in London, primarily known as the publisher of Private Equity International (PEI), a subscription-based news and analysis platform covering the global private equity industry. The company later expanded to include Real Estate Capital Europe, Infrastructure Investor, and Secondaries Investor, among other titles. These publications target distinct segments of the alternative asset ecosystem — from fund managers and institutional limited partners to advisors and service providers. The group generates revenue through three lines: subscription-based journalism, live conferences and awards ceremonies, and data or directory products. Events include the annual PEI Awards, Infrastructure Investor Global Summit, and the Women in Private Equity Forum. PEI Group does not manage capital or deploy investments — it functions as a trade media and events business with no asset management or advisory arm. PEI Group maintains editorial independence from the firms and funds it covers, though its conferences attract sponsors from the alternative asset industry. The company has not disclosed ownership or revenue figures publicly. No recent operational events were found in the last 24 months beyond its ongoing publication schedule. PEI Group's structural differentiator is its role as a trade media and events platform specialized entirely in alternative assets — a narrower focus than broader financial publishers like Bloomberg or Dow Jones. This niche positioning allows it to embed deeply with its audience: institutional allocators, fund managers, and intermediaries who rely on its content for deal flow intelligence and networking access.
