Sofinnova's success in fifth annual Global Private Equity Awards 2004

Private Equity International has recently announced the results of its fifth annual Global Private Equity Awards for 2004. No shortlists or judging panels were involved in the online reader poll, which revealed top ranking people, deals and firms in private equity globally. Thousands of votes were cast worldwide from GPs, LPs, bankers, lawyers and placement agents subscribed to the magazine or website. This year's winners include Sofinnova Partners, voted 'European venture firm of the year,' Sequoia Capital, voted 'US VC firm of the year', CVC Capital Partners, voted 'buyout firm of the year for Europe,' and MVision Private Equity Advisers Ltd, voted 'European placement agent of the year'. MVision acted as exclusive placement agent for Sofinnova Partners, when it recently closed its fifth venture capital fund, Sofinnova V (page 3, February 2005). Philip Borel, managing editor of Private Equity International, commented, 'It's notable to see Sofinnova, a France-based venture firm, win the European Venture Firm of the Year category as it's all too easy to expect UK-based firms to dominate.'
