Partners Group is building out their US presence through Denver so that is your only megafund presence. Caveat that the comp/lifestyle tradeoff here is very different than your typical other US megafunds. On the UMM to MM side you have reputable funds in KRG Capital (well legacied and successful fundraising), KSL Capital (traditional associate recruiting from banks and very specialized in lodging/leisure), Mountaingate Capital (ex-KRG leadership). You also have other smaller funds that operate more in the LMM like Bow River Capital, but Partners Group and those three ~MM shops kind of round out the known players. Hope others can chime in if anything I said is lacking precision.

 

Another name to consider: Platte River. Very operations focused in heavy industries, but rumor is that their returns are eye popping. Looking at bios of management, I imagine they are very hands on and in the weeds (and are likely pretty good at it). Could be a great place to land if you enjoy working with PortCos.

Agreed. PR sounds like a solid shop. Good friend of mine I believe worked there after MoCo. If they were able to recruit him there out of nyc I would think it must have been a great offer
