Clear tier order here, someone didn't read the updated preface to Pearl & Rosenbaum
1) Capital
2) Partners
3) Ventures
The remainder
Upon further consideration, I'd bump Ventures to #4, my original listing had a stronger emphasis on buyout nominative prestige.
Nah, Management should be higher. See: Coatue Management, Tiger Management, Tiger Global Management, etc.
A lot of funds that may appear to be in the nothing category acutally have "Management" or other bolt-ons. Archegos, for example, is short for Archegos Capital Management.
Top tier should be "Technologies".
Any firm outside of RenTech noteworthy? (Asking from someone completely ignorant of the industry)
What about Capital Management or Asset Management?
What about the ones that use the European variants for some of those same words, like "Advisers" instead of "Advisors"?
Ltd. is pretty fire imo, makes it sound foreign af.
Hot take, I think it would be kind of sick to use "Fraternity" instead of Partners. Think about it. Would you rather be a portfolio company of CVC Capital Partners, or a member of the coveted CVC Fraternal Order. I might F around and change my username to Order of the Chungus. Got DAMN that slaps.
"Collective" could be kind of cool to. As in Clearlake Capital Collective.
Bottom tier is anyone who includes LLC at the end of their name in marketing materials. Yuck.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Kappa Kappa Rho
Sigma Apha Chi Capital Advisors
Rho Sigma Sigma Gamma
Gamma Sigma & Co
Collective is pure communism, no way I'm putting that on my hedge fund name
