Thoughts On Opportunistic Transaction Advisory (Non-Distressed)?
Incoming SA at an EB. Although its not my group, I've been getting into learning more about restructuring and special situations. I like how it's extremely solutions-driven and the transaction creativity.
While there seems to be a lot of documentation on the website for distressed situations. What is the analyst experience like for advising non-distressed, opportunistic transactions (hairy mezz raises, structured equity capitalizations, growth capitalization, etc.)? I know that investment banks are hired for these situations, but I have no idea what a process may look like. Is it like a normal sell-side if I was advising an investment target?

Not related to your post, but how are you prepping for your summer internship or it's not really necessary.
This is just a personal interest. I'm not really prepping outside of some networking. A few upperclassmen (now in banking) have told me to enjoy my time after receiving an intern offer, and a lot of doing well during the internship is meeting the group's culture expectations and being coachable.
Granted, I thought I was pretty good technically relative to my peers.

Not that much different. You propose your solutions to the client, they make their decision and you run the process for them. The buyer list will be much shorter and much more different than standard sell side broad auction if you are doing pref recap but the overall mechanics are the same. The model is going to be focused on capital strucutre of course
Thank you for the response.
Would you consider it like a mixture of a capital markets and targeted sell-side transactions then?
I could be overstepping logic here, but it sounds like to me the bankers will structure the security’s outline too. Then show the proposed pref security and the company off to opp fund bidders like a sell-side (there’s equity like upside and limited downside).
Maybe I’m green, but wouldn’t that mean the models can get pretty tough? Just reading online, it sounds like there can be pretty spiky terms a bidder could get back with to achieve the risk adjusted combination…like a PIKing convertible with anti dilution rights and a sweetener pref facility a company can draw upon given certain terms are met (exaggerated hypothetical for example).
Sorry ignore my grammar.
Ye a targeted sellside transaction would be a great analog. Modeling is more esoteric compared to selling sponsor backed HVAC business but not really that deep. It’s IB after all we won’t be deep in the weeds like HVF or SPC
HVF - Apollo Hybrid Value Fund?
SPC - Silver Point Capital?
