Fortune has come out with a list of top private equity firms according to recent fund raising activity, and the big winner is the Carlyle Group. Yes, its mortgage-backed securities fund stumbled, but so did a lot of others. It's buyout and other funds fared well enough, apparently, to earn the top spot. The Blackstone Group, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Bain Capital, Warburg Pincus and TPG round out the top six. Out of nowhere: U.S.-based Advent International, which soared to 7th from not even being ranked the year before. It has specialized in European, middle-market type deals. Another newcomer: First Reserve, which came in 10th after being unranked in 2007. It's forte apparently is energy deals.
