Thoughts on new boutiques? (M. Klein, Incentrum, Foros, DBO, Dyal, Etc)
There have been a few newer boutiques that seem to have made a name for themselves. I'm wondering how people view these companies at the analyst level.
From my perspective, deal flow seems to be fairly strong, so that's not a concern. Speaking with some, the experience you get working on deals seems to be strong compared to the BB's - you get to work on more aspects of a transaction and speak directly to management.
Of course, you lack the strong institutional name that comes with BB's.
