Was wondering if anybody had updated views on Marlin Equity, I know their last US fundraise was in 2017 and software has gone through a rough patch. Also curious on performance of peer MM or UMM funds in LA.

Marlin Equity Partners has been noted for its strong performance, particularly in the software and tech services space. According to previous WSO threads, Marlin has consistently delivered top 10% returns across PE funds, showcasing disciplined and diligent investment strategies. Their AUM was expected to grow quickly, and they maintain a tech-centric focus in their investment approach. The interview process is rigorous, involving multiple rounds, including a superday with technical assessments like a 3-statement LBO model.
Regarding peer MM or UMM funds in LA, here are some insights:
LGP (Leonard Green & Partners): Known for solid investments in consumer retail, with occasional TMT and industrials deals. They have a small team, decent culture, and above-street pay. Their interview process is heavily investment thesis-focused.
Ares Management: A top-tier firm with a reputation for challenging culture and long hours. Promotion standards are cutthroat, but the pay is strong, and the experience is highly regarded.
Platinum Equity: Not specifically detailed in the context, but generally recognized as a significant player in the LA market.
If you're looking for updated performance metrics or specific fund details, it might be worth exploring recent fundraising announcements or industry reports for the latest insights.
