Interested in thoughts on Littlejohn, see they haven’t raised a fund in quite a while, any idea if they are raising soon? Also wondering about fund performance, culture, etc.

anyone got anything?
Bump, specifically on why they haven't raised a new fund in 7 years?
Heard they don’t “turn down” for what!?
Imagine working for a firm called "little john" lmao
I’ve worked alongside them on the private credit side a few times.
Hardworking group, but the people I’ve worked with there have all been pretty down to Earth. Very much a work hard play hard culture where the group seems to get along and do a lot of social events, so from a cultural standpoint at least it’s definitely a good spot from what I’ve gathered.
They work on a lot of more complex middle market deals, so from a junior standpoint I think the experience will probably teach you a lot more than the typical MM buyout fund you see these days.
Thanks for the insight, any idea on future fundraising plans since they haven't raised in quite a while or how they are financing deals?
I don’t work there, so I can’t candidly give u much on the fundraising efforts, but I don’t think they’re going away any time soon if that’s what you’re worried about. They’ve been pretty consistent in showing us new deals/opportunities.
From what I’ve gathered they tend be a bit more value oriented so probably didn’t deploy a ton at the top of the market and so probably underinvested it then and have dry powder. I don’t know for sure, but I’d guess they’re in market right now given my interactions w them.
They have a stunning office, from the windows, to the walls.

Returns aren’t great. Would avoid.
WSO really loves zombie funds. I guess it makes sense because their juniors do not have any capital to deploy so can spend their time writing positive stories about their funds.
Sounds like a sandwich shop
think they've become a family office atp
