Well publicized that a couple senior guys have left the London office. Some launched, others went to family offices. Those seats were seemingly never filled again. What’s going on with Elliott in Europe? They may struggle with position sizes and liquidity, but the office seems to be scaled down to a bare min. Anyone has ideas what’s happening?

Most things Europe touches turn to shit, from elite HFs to investment banking alike. Welcome to the future museum and retirement continent of the world.
At least we had 5 weeks PTO.
you're in VC, the fuck you know about business and finance when your entire due diligence is investing in "vibes" lmao
just sit back over there, in a corner, with the 20yo kid "prodigy" - whom you gave $2m to develop a fart air purifier - and let the big boys do finance around the ol' continent
PE guys should definitely not throw rocks.
I've heard for a while that nobody likes the nepo son, just can't confirm how many departures are specifically due to him
Completely false…. Guy is a beast, maybe wouldn’t have made it to the top without nepo due to all the randomness/politics involved in those huge firms but he deserves it
A beast how?
He's beyond competent and a sharp investor... not some idiot who got there purely because nepo. Paul loves Elliott too much to put an idiot son at the helm. Probably cares more about the fund's legacy than his kid's.
What Elliott moves do we know of that were solely Gordon's doing?
Also the original commenter never said he was bad at his job, just that people don't like him.
Your question was "a beast how". The answer is he's smart and good at his job. The original commenter identified him as nepo i.e. only there because of who daddy is, implying he's otherwise incompetent. Idk what stuff he's solely responsible for (nor do most for majority of trades/deals Elliott does) but that doesn't mean anything. I don't work there I've just heard anecdotes about Jesse, Gordon, and Dave from someone who did.
Elliott's becoming bureaucratic and the old guard resents it - https://www.businessinsider.com/why-elliott-alums-are-launching-their-o…
