Megafund Growth Fund analyst/associate career prospect
Is growth fund in Asia a second tier choice compared to buyout fund? I noticed that the profiles of the growth fund team are much less impressive than that of the buyout fund professionals. How does the career prospect for a growth fund (at top megafunds) analyst/associate in Asia (Greater China Region) look like? Also, how difficult would it be to transition internally (i.e., within the same company) to a buyout fund? Are the skill-sets developed in two types of fund very different?
very different skill. looking for completely different risk reward profiles.
There are very few real buyout deals in China.
As far as I know, the key difference btn the buyout teams and growth teams at the megafunds in China is about the deal size. The so-called buyout team typically works on deals of larger size, but most of the deals that they work on are pre-IPO investments and PIPE deals as well.
The growth team is typically smaller, based in HK, and typically don't make new hiring. Buyout team is typically larger, based in BJ/SH, and makes regular hiring each year.
The skillsets required for growth vs. buyout is usually very different. But in this particular case, no major difference.
it is not easy to go from one team to the other within the same company, usually I've seen more people jump from buyout funds to another growth fund but not the other way around
