PE FoF investments and valuation
Hi guys, I have an interview at a PE FoF and I’m trying to get a better understanding of how it works.
Where in the capital structure of PE funds do FoF typically invest in? Do they invest in the equity portion of the PE fund or do they invest in the mezzanine and secured/unsecured debt of the PE fund as well?
How does valuing a PE fund differ from valuing a company? Are the valuation methods similar- DCF, market comparables?
Thanks a lot!
I would imagine there's more Qualitative analysis than Quantitative.
anyone have any insight on the original questions
I'm working in fof so hope you still need this. Valuing PE funds would be so different from valuing a company. for funds, more qualiative e.g. GP's quality, turnover of the firm, investment strategy (e.g. favourable to mkt?, any shift?), firm's incentive scheme (can it motivate staff to source and do good deals?), any issue on conflict of interest, of coz track record of the GP as well.
Fof is an investor of PE fund. So they don't "invest along" with PE funds but back them up. Fofs do invest in all kinds of PE funds like mezz, infra, BO, Venture etc. But different fofs have their own target segments. hope this helps
