Controversial

Recent exits from Gugg: Advent, HIG (multiple), BX, BX Growth, KKR (multiple), Carlyle (multiple), TA Associates as far as big time places. These are recent exits, obviously not all from this year

 

Has the sentiment on medtech changed? You didn’t list in your top groups even though they’ve been regarded very highly in the recent years. Just wondering what’s changed

 

Structured Products is a great group. Probably the best group for Esoteric ABS. They are filled with Lehman/Barclays bankers from the old days and turn anything into a security. Hours are bad but exits are top notch. AFter building models based on 10 page waterfalls for 2-3 years, you'll have the skillset to model any product in existence.

 

It's a good bank that pays well. Definitely an offer worth considering. HC and TMT are strong groups. I'd say their trajectory looks solid. I'd view Jefferies and Greenhill as their best comps (latter trending downward but still exiting well). I wouldn't say they are quite at the same level as PWP / MOE / LAZ but they are still great.

FWIW, I work at a UMM fund that hired a Guggenheim analyst during this past on cycle process (top group, target school, perfect stats, etc.) and interviewed a few more (all from HC / Biopharma / TMT). Think we still tend to interview more kids from mid-tier BBs like Barclays though.

 

RX group has good exits, including Monarch, Beachpoint, CVC, Lonestar, Melvin (RIP), Caspian, Diameter, PIMCO, etc.
