MS Private Equity (Expansion Capital) Info/Culture/Comp/Reputation
Hey guys,
Would love any info on Morgan Stanley's PE practice specifically its Expansion Capital arm. Sounds like they make both equity and credit investments but how does it compare to traditional PE counterparts from a comp and reputation standpoint? Any insight would be helpful.
Also seeing a lot of banks (GS, JPM) moving in to growth stage investing. What are thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Analyst 2 in PE - Growth, sorry about the lack of response. Maybe one of these topics will help:
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
Group isn't as well known compared to general private equity shops. Above-market compensation and group seemed to have decent lifestyles.
Thanks! Couple follow up Qs - Why is it less well known? Is it a function of just being relatively new? Can you expand on lifestyle?
Bump - any info on MS Infra as well? Seem to be growing a bit?
Someone I know used to work there. Would NOT recommend based on the horror stories I have heard. They do not do traditional growth equity and a lot of work is focused on growth credit, which is not advertised by the head hunter.
I have heard the culture is toxic - the group is headed by an Asian guy who breeds a toxic environment. The partners don’t do any sourcing and expect junior folks to pick up the work. VPs and Directors are very insecure and come from non-traditional backgrounds, making the junior folks lives miserable. In particular, one of the Director who is east coast based is a bad guy and constantly throws junior folks under the bus.
happy to chat more in PM.
