Optimizing for hf exits?

Out of these firms which ones set you up best for publics? TA Associates, Advent, Berkshire, LG, Warburg, TPG Growth?

Any ways to parlay into crossover public w a heavier growth oriented investing firm (ie TA/Warburg) or is through and through bad brand that makes a difference?

Just look at exits including pershing square, tiger, elliott, and all sorts of funds. Based on alums from my school like 3-4 also placed into HFs from TPG so they’re a close second
