New York, NY – Kinderhook Industries, LLC (“Kinderhook”) is proud to earn a position in the top 20 on the 2023 HEC-Dow Jones MidMarket Buyout Performance Rankings.

In this ranking, the HEC Paris Business School and Dow Jones evaluated the performance of over 1,200 funds across 632 private equity firms with investments in the United States, Europe, or globally that raised between $1 billion and $5 billion cumulatively between 2010 and 2019, representing $2.18 trillion of aggregate equity volume. The ranking utilized a proprietary methodology that analyzed performance from all relevant funds into an overall score to assess aggregate performance.
