Edit: OP for some reason changed the post to be about Advent. The below was about PSG

They're at a pretty interesting firm inflection point. They've been incredibly successful doing these super gritty LMM roll ups and then selling the bundled company for a huge return - see deals like Ministry Brands, Payrix, Divvy Cloud, etc.

That said, they've been moving up market very rapidly ($4.5B latest fund when previous funds were closer to $1B). They've also been more aggressive buying bigger companies rather than their previous LMM focus.

My personal doubt would be that they try to go too big too fast (see Providence Equity historical funds) and get away from their bread and butter, but if they're able to continue with their current return profiles then they'll continue to grow really well. Would be curious how the leadership would justify their ability to perform well as they go after bigger deals.

It's an interesting mandate because they do everything from growthy venture-esque deals to full buyoutsIt's also incredibly sweaty because they look at everything and are constantly doing ads-ons
