According to Merger Market they only did 4 acquisitions since 2012, all with co-investors...if that is of any help. Doesn't look like a really active investor to me.

Oh, and according to FactSet they have ~82M AuM.

 

Thanks, that's a lot of help. That Merger Market stat seems peculiar. They closed another fund not long ago and I think they've invested in 13ish companies out of that. I think the FactSet figure sounds correct, thank you for that.

How would you advise someone considering a career there given the impact investing world is very small (not a lot of options, but also limited entry points)?
