If we know anything about one of the most publicized activist funds after Elliott...? If not troll, obviously a pretty sick role although have heard Dan Loeb can be difficult to work with / for
I appreciate that. I’m very siloed in my current role in PE. I don’t really pay attention to most HFs. This is a unique opportunity that got put in front of me. Was just looking for more info/ people’s thoughts. Don’t know why I’m getting MS.
Because it’s crazy that someone who would even contemplate working in the HF world would not know about third point. It’s like if a HF guy asked you if you knew anything about Carlyle. How dumb is that?
Didn’t realize they were that big of a name. Appreciate that. Solid returns?
Based on the quality of your questions, you won't get a job there. I wouldn't worry much about it.
If you don’t mind me asking, did Thirdpoint’s internal team reach out to you or did a headhunter reach out to you about them?

-Adam Neumann after Dan Loeb suggested teaming up to buy WeWork out of bankruptcy
Seems like he's been fomoing into everything these days. Hard into Chinese equities right at the peak. Privates in 2021. Private credit 6 months ago as that market is getting super-saturated.
Performance hasn't been upto par either. Great name to have on resume but
Its surprising given Third Point used to be very aggressive (and successful) on the activist front but now its becoming a typical HF with average or below average returns
Been a bit of turnover right?
Comp sounds subpar. I know surprising but we recently hired a principal from there. He said to get paid you had to have a good year, team had to have a good year, and firm had to have a good year… the stars had to all align
What is comp? Got pinged about an opportunity.
Never heard of them. By chance have you heard about this tiny firm called KKR?
I heard they use a mix of debt and equity to buy companies
No way! I wonder why no on else has tried that before
which recruiter does third point use?
they aren't above their HWM
What do they comp for 2 years mf pe associate?
i dont know just go ask them lol. the point of the HWM is the upside is capped if the perf fee isn't flowing around
