I don't know why this forum loves Providence so much but it's objectively a firm in decline. Their latest fund size is half of their previous ones. LP's are doubting their right to live in an increasingly competitive PE world, Would much rather be at growing or at least flat funds in that 3-4bn range than a shrinking fund in the 3-4bn range (their latest fund closed at 3.2bn). Strong historic brand, but unsure for how much longer; as reputation will eventually catch-up to actual results and place in market.
