Anyone have any good insight on Ares North American/European Flexible Capital – Corporate PE vs. their Special Opportunities Fund?
Do you have an interview with them?
Yes
Go with ASOF, looking to increase headcount now and top tier within the space
thanks for the input
Could you maybe elaborate a bit more on why someone would choose ASOF over the traditional buyout fund?
Depends what you’re looking for. ASOF is a newer fund that as a previous poster pointed out, is growing quickly. However, the same can be said of the flagship buyout fund (they’re currently in the market for ACOF VI). The main advantage to ACOF is that you get to do both distressed and traditional vanilla buyouts (etc.) as the firm has a flex-cap mandate (hence the name) which differs from other PE firms in that within their buyout fund they’re allowed to invest across the capital structure (i.e. convertibles, other structured equity products, etc.). You can pull up one of their investor presentations to see how that mix (distressed vs. traditional) has moved through time, but it is one of the paramount advantages at the firm (within ACOF specifically) and is reason they performed so well with their 2008 vintage (ACOF III). Additionally I can’t speak from experience, but would assume it’s probably an amazing place to learn as a junior as you are able to gain exposure across the cap structure/in different situations. Just my two cents
Any news on Ares Credit?
Got questions on LBO + other models (have internship experience in PE and Banking). Probably only won't get LBO questions if you have no history in it.
