Careful! ...
Explanation:
"Peer group" is often business-speak for "Vergleichsunternehmen" or "Mitbewerber"/"Wettbewerber".

(see, for example, www.wet.de/pdf/bhf_20_11_02.pdf
or
icfb.hypovereinsbank.de/7683.htm)

It depends on the context, of course.

If you\'re not sure, it might even be better to use \"die Peer Group\".
