I heard the moelis LA team gets mfpe exits to Pe shops in Los Santos
don't wanna be that guy but can someone explain
Yeah no worries, so basically
Grove street, home…at least it was before I fucked everything up
For example, Los Santos Customs Capital (LSCC) is a premier buyout fund focused mainly on value-add automotive companies. Have netted some pretty impressive returns. Firm was started by Franklin Clinton in the 80s
Adding context to the other commenter's reply - the LA buyout scene was all but finished in the aftermath of Michael Milken's charges. What restarted the scene and allowed groups like UBS LA, and eventually Moelis LA, to perform so well was a major fund started in Los Santos by two former Maze Bank bankers, Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips, and a former junior partner who left Grove Street Partners, Franklin Clinton.
The two Maze Bank alumni worked in the North Yankton office together, but had a falling out since they were both brought in from different offices to co-head the same sponsor coverage. De Santa was from the Liberty City office whereas Philips was out in a satellite office in Sandy Shores. After the falling out, De Santa left to start his own PE shop in Los Santos, and Philips ended up moving there as well after being passed over for the Head of Investment Banking title at Maze by Lester Crest.
De Santa's shop, Los Santos Customs Capital - mentioned by one of the other commentators - made a huge first hire, Franklin Clinton - he eventually went on to become one of most influential Managing Partners at the fund. He left Grove Street Partners after having a feud with his a more senior partner, Lamar Davis, because of differences in their investment style. Clinton was a lot more risk-averse, wanting to do more prudent, value-based investing whereas Davis was much more interested in high-growth companies. Together, they saw great success in rolling up automotive companies, and the firm eventually brought on Philips when he moved to Los Santos.
Now, the entire west coast IB/PE scene revolves around the deal flow started by these three. Ever hear of guys like Ken Moelis, Blair Effron and Frank Quattrone? Yeah, these guys made their careers advising Los Santos Customs Capital. They're absolutely #1 in every LA IB analyst's mind when it comes to exit opps. If you want more info on the interviewer process and how to reach out to their headhunters (Epsilon Search Program), feel free to DM me.
