WCAS (2026)
Anyone have updated views on WCAS and how they compare to other UMM names (Berkshire, NMC, Lindsay Goldberg, Veritas, THL, etc)?
Also, have they filled their 2027 class? Saw HH blast ~1 month ago.

Phenomenal fund in healthcare. Their tech is weak but don't think that actually matters given the state of software and could position them even better.
Most of their healthcare investments are in healthcare services. On the recent HEC list, they're top 5. Unsure on comp
bump— any color?

Saw on another thread that their NY Tech is full (~1 spot in SF maybe?). Unsure on HC, but that's usually their stronger team.
have they filled their class yet?
pinged hh and no response. another thread said nyc tech was full, unsure on hc
Tech is full but HC has not started
Rly? HH told me they had given out “some” seats for hc already, which is why I said unsure. This is per CPI like last week.
Unusually impossible to move up the ranks to partner at least on the HC side (don't know as much on tech side), but good shop to go to as an associate
Agree. Will note that they also promote to senior associate and VP for top performers. Recruiting is very difficult for off-cycle and WCAS is still a great place to start your career, would reccomend taking a WCAS offer if you get one. Very positive opinions on them working with their tech team in the past in banking, seem like sharp people who are also pleasant to work with.
what is comp for ASO1? 300 or higher
bump on this
Not many funds at NYC/SF that pay less than 300k at ~5bn fund size, the only exceptions I know of are HIG and AKKR. Even most of the non-NYC ones pay 300k. The delta in pay for most UMM names is not that large in the grand scheme of things. Would solve for interest in strategy, sector interest, fund trajectory, and promotion odds if your goal is to stay longer than 2 years. If interested in HC or Tech growth at reasonable price type of investing, it's a good shop to be at.
Do they only take for BB/EBS or do MMs have a shot
anyone have visibility into their 2027 class? hc specifically
Bumping. Any HC team recruiting updates for 2027?
Sixth Street going on, Nordic going on
Thank you - who’s the HH?
