Unfamiliar with comp and wlb because I don’t work there, but the firm is highly prestigious. Raised a comparatively massive fund for their Special Sits / opportunistic group and have thrown their money around in cool opportunities (Airbnb, Spurs etc.)

They are highly regarded in the space for being sharp investors who consistently achieve top returns given their downside protection

 

TAO invests in across of their strategies though each strategy also has its own dedicated fund. As for returns, they do differ across strategies. I know that special sits targets returns in the mid 20s while others like specialty lending target returns in the low to mid teens. Im not so sure about other strategies like growth equity tho
