Absolutely incredible hahaha
thx. sorry i couldn't answer your question :(
I'm in tears !
use them as lube
Tends to be more of a “pick two” situation in my experience...
which two would you pick?
Culture and size as a junior, culture and performance as Principal+. Obviously limits on how bad the third “circle” can be in either scenario, but those would be the priorities
Bump - what are some funds that hit both "good size" and "good deal flow/performance"? How bad can the culture be there?
20 comments in and not even a single name dropped. Great thread.
your cynicism, it pleases me. have a banana.
Clearlake and Genstar raised $7B funds recently (a bit smaller than the range you outlined) but both have been crushing it with respect to recent performance. Same with Veritas ($6.5B) although I have heard working there is pretty brutal. Have generally heard good things about American Securities ($7B fund) although they had a really bad recent fund (historical performance overall has been solid though). Unfortunately can't speak much to culture but Francisco and New Mountain probably also meet criteria b and c.
Completely agree on New Mountain, that's the one that jumped to mind here for me. Would also agree with everything said on AmSec, hopefully performance gets back to normal as they've been historically very smart investors with good culture for a long time.
Would maybe question the Clearlake and Francisco culture elements... performance is strong but they drive teams hard from what I know. Only have one first-hand account for both, but anecdotally have heard this about Francisco especially.
