Hi All - bit of a strange ask here. Has anyone seen a list of private equity firms (venture, growth, buyout) with public investing arms?
Would imagine KKR, BX, Carlyle all have some form of this but curious about others that people have heard of or if anyone's seen a list anywhere (did try searching...) one off comments all appreciated!

Advent - guys are wicked smaht
New mountain capital
Bain cap
Don't know if they actually do but Golden Gate has fund structure where they could buy some credit or public stuff if they so pleased (flexible LP base) - not a dedicated fund to be clear
TPG has a hedge fund arm.
I believe Vista Equity Partners has a public technology investing fund.

Is it apax partners that has a subsidiary trading on LSE that basically tracks all Apax investments?
Advent - Sunley House
Bain - Bain Cap Public Equities
They all have groups or sub-divisions that opportunistically buy up first-loss positions/equity that are publicly traded, whether it’s easier to amass a position or liquidity.
Can someone explain this strategy a bit more? Do they try to take public companies private or do they just take big minority stakes and hold long term? What type of person does this appeal to/why would you choose it over a L/S fund or a PE fund? Have returns in the space been good? Any help is appreciated.
It’s just Opportunistic where mandate of the private equity strategy cannot touch. Hold period depends by fund, and they’re usually non-control minority passive investments. Don’t think activist plays are common.
reason why people are here instead of SM l/s: 1) likely can’t make it to a tiger cub... gotta be honest, this is most probable reason since comp is definitely lower 2) it’s deep diligence public markets (liquidity, mark to market performance tracking, more competition, more uncertainty and risk/reward for edge) strategy infused within a PE house with all its IC processes and platform network so you get potentially best of both worlds.
I'd agree except not sure you're right about can't get into tiger cub... Sunley house has some ex-cub guys but like I mentioned above they are unbelievably sharp
Would it be correct to characterize it as something akin to a long only, concentrated hedge fund strategy with a 3-5 year time horizon on investments?
