BV Investment Partners Honored for Second Year In a Row By HEC-Paris Dow Jones

Ranked Top 10 Lower Mid-Market Buyout Performer in 2025

BOSTON, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BV Investment Partners ("BV"), a middle-market private equity firm focused on tech-enabled business services and solutions, is pleased to be recognized as a top 10 best performing lower mid-market buyout firm in the just released 2025 HEC-Paris Dow Jones performance rankings.

Vikrant Raina, CEO and Partner at BV Investment Partners, commented, "It is a tremendous honor for BV Investment Partners to be recognized by HEC-Paris Dow Jones for the second year in a row. Our commitment is to partner with entrepreneurs, founders and their management teams to build great companies and that focus has led to this recognition as a top 10 performer among PE firms in the lower middle market."

Conducted by strategy Professor Oliver Gottschalg at HEC Paris Business School, the ranking identifies PE firms targeting the lower mid-market segment that generated the best aggregate performance based on all buyout funds raised between 2012 and 2021.

To ensure a robust evaluation, Prof. Gottschalg analyzed a comprehensive database of 695 private equity firms and 1,439 funds representing an aggregate equity volume of $2.5 trillion. The performance score is derived from a blend of measures, including Internal Rate of Return (IRR), DPI (cash-only return multiple) and TVPI (a return multiple considering account values of ongoing investments).
