New member/former engineering major here looking to break into banking. Can anyone give any insight on FocalPoint Partners in Westwood? It seems like they hire mostly from UCLA/USC.

FocalPoint Partners (Originally Posted: 03/05/2009)
Has anybody heard of FocalPoint Partners, a boutique middle market firm in Los Angeles? What was your impression of the firm? What do you think about the deal flow, the people, and pay there? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
They are not in the right sectors...their deal flow must be terrible.
Look:
-Restaurants -Food & Snacks -Equipment Rentals -Media & Entertainment -Aerospace & Logistics -Paper & Packaging -Manufacturing & Retail
they're doing restructuring as well..in that case, "they be balling."
FocalPoint Partners LLC is an independent investment bank, specializing in mergers and acquisitions, raising capital (both debt and equity), financial restructurings, and distressed transactions.
