IMO their best returning funds are long behind them. The HC roll-up space they play in and they were very early in 10 years ago is so oversaturated at this point. I know two people who work(ed) at their portco's as top 5 people in the companies and they're both going to return under cost (winding down with little acquisitions). Doctors have realized two things, one is they're worth more than 2-3x EBITDA (even if it's purely from having more than 1 bidder now) which is how Shore made 3-5x returning funds via multiple arbitrage, two is while Shore has not been bad about this, many PE backed practice roll-ups are a disaster for docs and docs talk to each other. Couple this with way larger funds than their early funds and I would avoid, while may be contrarian due to their great returns but forward looking I think they have issues ahead.

 

Aside from the helpful post above, here are some general thoughts/opinions:

  • Known by bankers for being cheap af - that type of value orientation works at the lower end of the middle market, but not as you move up market and find less proprietary opportunities to buy at discounts to market
  • Based on how they operate, I would be shocked if comp is in line with market for juniors
  • Shore continues to diversify its focus, seeking assets to manage instead of sticking with what it knows best. It's questionable how successful that will be long-term
  • Culture is decent if you are interacting with their HC guys
  • Performance is not as strong as they hoped given their roll-up strategy, as was mentioned above. When they are putting things into continuation vehicles, it isn't for reasons they spin.
 

I'm considering an operator role for one of their roll up plays outside of HC. What's your perspective of Shore from that side of the table? I'm concerned they will be too cheap/lean and try to financially engineer an outcome, hamstringing operations
