Hi All, was wondering if you could provide color into what the top private equity firms in Los Angeles are in terms of dealsize & dealflow.

Following
Leonard Green, Ares, Apollo, Clearlake, Brookfield in terms of prestige and size.
Spot on
Brookfield has real estate ppl in LA, but not corporate PE.
My guess is this person is bundling in Oaktree??
Tons of decent MM funds
Compass Diversified, Gemspring just opened, RedBird Capital for sports, Platinum Equity, Main Street, TCG, Marlin, AIM, Anthos, K1, Shamrock, Butterfly
do you have any knowledge of the culture at these shops?
Any more detail on compass diversified?
isnt k1 base 75k?
85k from what I’ve heard
Dear Discussion Poster,
I'm looking into same topic, my participation at UC Irvine as an Econ major and being UFA undergraduate finance association doesn't help much. I was in LA county in the last 2 months and I can't identify any specific firms except Saban Capital Group, hopefully that is considered a PE company. Best regards, Silviu
Tf going on at UC Irvine
lmao
Silviu you’re cooked bro
Anyone have a view on culture of the LA shops? I’ll try to name the funds I’m aware of there off the top of my head.
Leonard Green (large cap & mid cap, unsure how separated), Ares, Clearlake, Platinum (large, mid, small), Oaktree, Apollo, Brentwood, Freeman Spogli, Seidler, Marlin, LightBay, Shamrock, RedBird, Levine Leichtman, One Rock, Aurora, Varsity Healthcare, and on distressed side you’ve got Beach Point and PIMCO Distressed / Opportunistic / Special Situations
Good list, would also add Butterfly Equity and Odyssey Investment Partners (small office compared to NYC)
Heard LA office for odyssey is closing / is closed
Have heard Levine Leichtman culture isn't great
Heard this as well from a former Associate
Based on that BDT thread, I’m assuming BDT LA office shouldn’t be in consideration?
Smaller office, but have heard culture is great. I believe cross staffed across offices.
What functions are in the LA office?
Transom, Pacific Avenue, Truelink
Platinum going to be able to survive and raise again? Everything seems to be on fire and sale there...
What’s the context with Platinum?
Interested too - what are you referring to?

platinum ended up close a 12.4b fund. heard marlin didn't raise well - any insights? how the rest of the LA scene doing?
K1 is solid but they're notorious for low pay and being a sweatshop
is there a reason for low pay? interested in the shop bc of location but 75k in la is tough haha
If you pay juniors less you can hire more of them to scrub the interwebs for targets and/or pay yourself more.
Lol not K1 their portfolio is fucked
Why do you say that? Would love to hear more
Not Clearlake
Said a lot but would love to hear why?
.
Marlin gets a lot of hate on this forum, do you know what's going on there?
Bro you trynna copy my username???
Angeles equity partners is another LA PE Fund. Gores spin out
Do you have any additional detail about them? Culture, lifestyle, comp, returns
IMO best all around (which somehow also seems to fly under the radar around here, which I wanna keep that way as I wanna apply) is LGP.
Pretty significant AUM, small team, great culture (supposedly).
