Eldridge Industries?

Has anyone heard of this firm and know of its reputation on the street? Seems like they invest across the capital structure and focus primarily on consumer/media holdings (Dodgers, Lakers, A24, etc..).

With ~$40B AUM according to Pitchbook, would joining this group be similar to joining a MF or at least UMM PE fund career wise? Anyone know anything about culture or compensation?

Founded by Todd Boehly, former top exec at Guggenheim. Spun out of Guggenheim with Security Benefit Life, a large annuity underwriter that finances a lot of Eldridge's deals (similar to Apollo / Athene model, google it if unfamiliar). They're very smart investors, particularly around insurance and growth. Not sure about it as a place to work / build a career but definitely a "legit" firm.  Less street cache than a Blackstone/KKR/Carlyle/Apollo etc. though.

 

How would you comp them in terms of reputation? Obviously not a MF, but what are they?

 

I have an offer from them, would it be better than IB at a BB if I want to make a career out of investing?

 

bumping; any insights on experience in 2025 / '26 forecast? 

Beyond sector, what types of deals are folks working on there?

XOXO
