Moelis & Co. Merchant Banking (Moelis Capital Partners)

Does anyone have experience with their hiring practices (specifically, the Merchant Banking Division)? Is the team located throughout all three offices (LA/NYC/Boston)? Any other information is welcome.

Thanks in advance

 

Speaking of Moelis & Co., Mr. Moelis was quoted on Bloomberg TV today for saying that Wall Street could collectively lose 35% of jobs (probably just IB jobs) through this market turmoil.

Sorry. That's the only info I have and it doesn't really relate to your post, but you should probably know that Mr. Moelis (I think his first name is Ken) was founded by a former UBS President within the past two years.

 

at least in LA, they do first rounds on campus and second rounds in their office in westwood. first round was standard 2 on 1 interviews with analysts and second round was 5 or 6 interviews with svps and more analysts. most of the seniors guys are former dlj guys and the interviews were really intense and somewhat intimidating but i actually really liked some of the guys. analysts were mostly lateral hires from all over the place... Merrill, boa, etc...

 

last I heard, they were promising prospective analysts they'd get to work on both sides of the business. I doubt there'll be much happening on the PE side for them any time soon anyway - not like they have a bunch of portfolio companies to work with yet, so no tack-ons or exits to work on either.

 

Merchant banking and investment banking are rolled together. They said they're trying to set up the fund the way DLJ used to work, with 30% of transactions they work on being considered for investment as well as a deal(and from that being able to pay a higher salary). It looks like they've only invested in one portfolio company so far tho.

 

at my school, the summer analyst positions, at least were promoted as "investment banking and private equity summer analyst" positions. however, according to a friend whose sibling is friends with moco's head recruiter, it's in reality a bunch of marketing BS. the work will supposedly be m&a only, and crappy m&a work at that. compensation is great, though.
