LMM/MM PE Summer Analyst Programs
Wondering which firms operating in the lmm and mm space have summer analyst programs, especially in SF and NYC.

Very few will have "official" summer analyst programs with potential FT offers at the end but plenty will take informal interns during the summer or semester. Best way to find out is reach out to folks (alumni or otherwise) at firms you're interested in and ask.
Yeah that seems the best route, definitely interested in structured programs and firms that are generally open to analysts. What's the best way to find funds in a specific fund range? I've been using google but it's really inconsistent and lists out there are usually paywalled.

GTCR, Audax
GTCR is UMM and borderline MF. Audax is technically a MM firm but I'm more so looking for "true" LMM and MM funds that are less well known—I've seen Audax mentioned a lot.
Check out Atar Capital, Diversis Capital
A few that come to mind:
1. Arcline Investment Management - SF
- Relatively new MM firm founded by ex-Golden Gate folks. They take sophomore and jr summer analysts that convert into full-time positions. That being said, the Analyst program description reads: "The program is structured as a two-year rotation during which Analysts will spend time across Arcline's Underwriting, Research & Insights, and Portfolio Operations teams." So the role might not be entirely focused on investing. I have heard they care a lot about analyst/associate career development though, so they might be more flexible than what the flyer says.
2. Atlas Holdings - Greenwich
- To my knowledge, this is a distressed PE shop that focuses on turnarounds and has had stellar performance as of late. I don't know anything about the analyst program.
3. CCMP Capital - NYC
- MM firm focused on consumer/industrials that takes jrs. They haven't raised a fund since 2014 which is a bit odd.
4. Stone Point Capital - Greenwich
- FS focused MM firm with stellar performance. Have taken both sophomores and jrs, though mostly from Wharton/Mich it seems. It's not clear whether the role converts to full-time based on Linkedin search.
5. Altamont Capital - SF/Palo Alto
- Another ex-Golden Gate founded MM firm. They primarily focus on hiring sophomores, who join their strategy summer analyst program (Which converts into a jr internship and eventually a full time position) but they've also taken jrs as well.
6. Incentrum Group - NYC
- Technically a Merchant Bank but I'll throw it in here since I imagine you could get some buyside exposure here. Seems to target Ivies for summer analyst/analyst roles.
7. Aquiline Capital - NYC
- This firm seems to have a number of different strategies (e.g. MM investments but also Venture/Growth investments). They've taken sophomores and jrs as summer analysts in the past.
8. L Catteron - Greenwich
- Seems to have taken a summer analyst/analyst or two in the past. Might be focused on their Growth/Venture investments instead of MM PE though.
Bregal and Crestview Partners, both MM focused in NYC, take full-time analysts but not summer analysts. Crestview is known to care a lot about pedigree when hiring.
For clarification above, Audax Private Equity is based in Boston and SF; Audax Private Credit is based in NYC.
