Hey - I work MM in London. 

On Kester 

  • Have made some good investments recently in pharma services (in my view) 
  • Had a couple of good exits (e.g., Frontier Medical, Avania)
  • Unsure on WLB - but would expect something like 9 - 7pm (on an average basis) 
  • Team - all quite English / British 

Have you been given an indication of compensation? Grateful if you could please share.
