Houlihan Lokey CF / IB Groups

Hi all - there has been a lot of talk on WSO about the deal flow and exit opps of top groups like RX, Consumer, and Industrials at Houlihan.

Would you say that exit opps for the other groups (Business Services, Aerospace & Defense, Healthcare, TMT, etc) place just as well in PE funds / give as good deal experience?

So regular M&A groups would then be placed at even worse funds? I'd imagine HL RX would have top exits comparatively speaking across the firm
