Have heard that BX, APO, and Carlyle all have LA offices but have no idea what they focus on. Does anyone have any insights into these three funds in LA specifically? Is it just credit and tiny teams or is it more fleshed out? Any insight whatsoever would be incredibly helpful

Ares has buyout fund in LA
Apollo LA has a whole PE team run by Munfakh that is an extension of its NYC PE team. No sector specialization but a lot of their industrials, airlines, etc. stuff is looked at from there.
