It is very rare that an investment firm acquires another in the same line of business. I have of course seen the big funds buy themselves a credit or infra shop, but buying another PE firm is almost unheard of. I'm sure Hg people at all levels are receiving calls from recruiters. I'm not so sure about how many would jump ship.

We respect our colleagues at Thoma and think they've done an awesome job in the US. It does take a while to set up a proper presence across the pond regardless of which side you start on though.  

 

They brought in a few from SF and Chicago office, I believe. I have a friend who heads M&A at a company in Scandinavia that was acquired by TB this summer, and they are now reporting to a guy from San Francisco. 

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
