3bn+ under the radar funds with lean single-digit investment teams?

Asking about funds like Route One, SRS, and Abrams. Those that have a 3-5 year view and great fund economics. I know that there are a few but not usually talked about on this forum even though they are arguably some of the best seats due to high employee tenure.

Majority of these aren't sub $3bn and/or under the radar

 

With SMs doesn’t it always come down to the PM? The chances of a PM taking care of you is higher with smaller funds that have low headcount but it’s not guaranteed. If the PM is greedy with a huge ego none of this matter.

 

Not quite AUM but GMV - I know quite a few pods w/ 4bn+ GMV and 10 total members.
