Neuberger Berman PE

Anyone has any insights on the private equity group of NB? Would it be a good exposure to the PE industry or tough to transition to "control PE" down the road?

Depends, are you familiar with Primary, co, and secondary investments? They have a really unique PE platform, yet they differ greatly from your everyday buy-out fund.

So if you’re interested to gain exposure to their line of business and the thus higher deal flow, and greater exposure to other GPs, I’d suggest looking into their opportunities :)

They have a very successful co - investment and secondaries business. What makes it special is their unique network to platinum PE funds and their long lasting relations with top managers. As you said they acquire non-controlling interests as a co-investor usually as Co-underwriter (however they also do syndications and mid life deals). NB usually is one of the first names that comes up when GPS try to raise extra money for an add-on or want to change their funds capital structure (eg.: GP led secondary transaction).

They thus also have a extremely wide and diverse pool of possible investments to chose from and can pick the best ones out to follow through with. The deal flow is very high and they do not intend to actively engage in portco management or other controlling interest tasks.

Their USP (to the deal sponsors) is; that they are a diligent, highly professional, very liquid, and nimble partner. One who the GPS trust and know that once NB invests with them that the trust also goes the other way. It’s actually quite interesting how strong the synergies of primary, secondary and co-investment businesses can be leveraged.

They have a very good reputation in the market and culture wise they’re also very interesting.

I hope that gives you more context ✌🏼
