Monkeys, what are you thoughts between these two?
Always thought of them similarly — both large, pure play PE shops.

Both are great shops with recent strong fundraising momentum and top-quartile returns throughout. Both on the leaner side (particularly H&F). Key difference as funds would be focus on more traditional / old-school sectors for CD&R vs. more growthier stuff for H&F - although obviously overlap on both ends.
H&F is one the absolute best seats in the industry as acknowledged by pretty much everyone senior associate plus
This. I don't see an argument for CD&R over H&F from an investment professional perspective. Would gladly be an LP in either.
Really? I can see loads of good arguments for both. Depends on what kind of investing you enjoy more. For what it’s worth I’d pick CD&R but I also recognise that’s entirely based on personal preference.
Fair enough - my bias as a growthier investor is likely showing here.
But isn't H&F mostly focused on tech while CD&R is more diversified?
