Walton Street Capital

Does anyone know anything about Walton Street Capital in Chicago as far as entry-level salary, culture/lifestyle, etc? I know they hire Asset Management out of undergrad and sometimes some in acquisitions. I imagine they are very selective.

My group worked on a couple of projects with Walton Street. Overall, I would say they are one of the more professional PERE groups.

As far as I can tell, they value IB-type (analysis heavy) exp in their new hires, which is pretty common for legit PERE groups. Comp I am sure is market. Culture/lifestyle is typical of PERE: laid back. I don't know how selective they are but they def have a "mold" which may or may not have been intended.

^^Not exactly a Vault Guide Insider profile, but that's the best I can do.

wow. that's a nice find.

I know, right? And in their defense, they do a pretty good skewering WSC. Clearly hired someone relatively sophisticated to pinpoint certain weaknesses.
