Reputational risks following with PE firms
I’ve heard PE firms with notorious reputations have hard time acquiring targets and singled out quite often from bids.
Is this phenomenon especially more apparent when PE firms have investment banking arms? If so, what are the barriers for this case? Strong investment banking image? When it comes with reputational issue, are standalone PEs better off in general than funds which come along with investment banking arms?
Please inform me with this issue, anybody who’s familiar with.
Thanks.
