Arma Partners
bump
Arma, never heard of it. FT Partners looks 10x better than Arma after a quick site review.
First thing first, FT and Arma are not competitors as FT mostly does Fin Tech and Arma does SaaS. Second, it depends on the location. Arma has a small team (if any) in the US, but in London they are extremely strong covering EMEA Small-Mid cap firms. FT strong in FinTech in US, have just started building an office in London
Just like many others, I was originally thinking that all of these banks were mainly in the US, but it looks like Arma Partners and GP Bullhound are based in London. That's probably why many people might not have heard of these firms. FT Partners recently opened a London office and HL has a primary focus in the US.
It might be a good idea for you to specify in the post that you are looking at banks in the UK (if that's what you are doing).
Thanks for your response. Yes, I am looking to compare their London-based operations.
FT has been killing it in the US. They opened the London office 6-month ago but that is about the only piece of news online.
Arma is doing great in the UK, GP Bullhound is also great, HL is the best in restructuring and started to expand in tech (Quayle Munro acquisition)...
Lots of similarities, so appreciate any views on the pluses and minuses of them.
I have heard this as well. Where did you read/hear about this?
Push any more Information about FT Partners in London? Especially Pay and Exit opps?
