PE exits for DACH country-coverage London banking

How do PE exits for country coverage teams in London (especially Germany, Austria & Switzerland coverage) compare with PE exits for industrials or consumer coverage teams, both in terms of chances of PE placement and wide-ranging optionality among the different types of PE businesses? PS (might be a dumb question): Also, I am a bit confused about why country coverage teams in London exist in the first place, when each of these individual countries have indigenous IB firms as well as indigenous branches of US/European IB firms LOCATED WITHIN THEM. Could someone help me clarify this? What is the difference between BB X's Italy coverage team (in London), and BB X's Italy coverage team in Rome (that is made up of actual Italians)?

My German isn't good, can you translate to English?

Your sentence looks incomplete

 

haha no worries, was just asking if you are in a DACH coverage group

 

Not yet. I'm actually deciding whether or not DACH is good for me

Btw "einer" is apparently synonymous with "one (of them/it)" right?
