Thoughts on Structured Equity / Hybrid Capital
Hi all - do you have any opinion on going into structured equity vs more traditional PE buyout (after banking). I’m talking about a flexible fund that can deploy across the cap structure (from pure equity minority or majority to prefs / converts etc)
I am quite worried that I am somewhat restricting my optionality later on and pigeonholing myself a bit, especially if I wanted to eventually move into an operator role at some point. Naturally these places tend to be a bit less operationally focused given there’s a lot more downside protection
Should I not enjoy it, do you think it’ll be easy to jump to traditional buyout after 1y or so? My thinking is that it’s a good enough opportunity to leave baking and will teach me something new
Any input is much appreciated

Intuitively, I'd think name brand matters a bit here. Working at Bain Cap/ Oaktree/ Apollo and their SS/ Hybrid Value teams would greatly expand your exit universe compared to a smaller distressed/ hybrid fund.
You're still young and its impossible to get pidgeon holed at 24 in my opinion, but I digress. If you have a strong desire to be in an operational role you should probably go to traditional buyout. Much easier to move into a hybrid value type role from buyout vs. the other way around.
Thank you Intern
