GCM Grosvenor - PE Fund Opportunities

All,

I wanted to get your thoughts on GCM Grosvenor as I am considering an Senior Investment Associate position with the firm. I'm particularly interested in hearing about the following:

1) Have you ever collaborated with GCM Grosvenor on any transactions? Has anyone worked there in the past, or at the predecessor firm (Credit Suisse Fund Opps)?

2) In your observation/experiences, what are GCM's respective strengths/weaknesses in terms of capabilities, assessment of investment opportunities, etc.?

3) Does co-investing and/or fund-of-funds investing lead to solid exit opportunities (i.e. within upper level management / CFO office at portfolio companies)?

If you can respond by this week, I would greatly appreciate it.

Best, Odyssy2112
