Since no one else chimed in, I can try to provide some color. Well-regarded shop. Maybe you saw Vic’s recent interview with Eric on Bloomberg (it’s on YouTube too)? He talks about the firm and their peers so figure they are fairly similar to those. They seem to be more of a distressed PE shop / loan to own / distressed for control so skill set is prob understanding of RX process and then more general PE stuff is my guess. Comp probably in line with others in that range. I think most recent fund is 5bn. He seems to want people back in office but can’t really comment much more. I do have a friend or two there. If helpful I can try to see if I can get more color from them if you want…

 

Thank you. Sbed.

Saw that interview, seems like a cool guy and great shop. Sounds like an interesting field Just not bullish on distressed from what little I know. I believe returns across the board in distressed have been low for the past 10+ years which I suspect has resulted in lower comp, but I have no idea what comp is like in this arena vs PE, HF, direct lending, etc.

 

You are welcome. Thanks. Fair. I’m not advising you on where to invest your money just tried to share some helpful color. Some people like the asset class. At the end of the day you can make plenty, plenty of money investing in any asset class as far as I know. There might be a billionaire or a few at least who made a fortune from any asset class you can think of…

 

Makes sense. I think I recall them putting on a bunch of recruiting events in like 15/16 as well. Maybe that was last time they closed on a new fund like now

 

Any sense of what comp is like in distressed generally from associate to MD?
