$25mm fund - 2 person

Hi All,

What would you do if you were given a $25mm LMM PE fund to run and you were given 1 analyst to work for you? Would you lever up and invest in a single larger company or would you invest in a handful of smaller companies?

Depends on how much leverage and how well the business has been performing, but I'm a risk taker so I'd probably just do one big one and go for broke

Remember, always be kind-hearted.
