Could someone teach me a bit about REPE MF recruiting? Assuming you don’t break in out of undergrad, do people apply and interview after the typical 2 year period? Do they then come in as An analyst or associate? I know a lot of REIB people move to MF REPE, but are those the only roles that have success in recruiting? I just couldn’t find many resources on this topic

No, I lateraled from a smaller REPE shop after 3 years to a MF in REPE. I literally only recruited for this one position and beat out all the typical RE IBers. LFG.
I’d also add that we’re looking to hire an experienced analyst right now and zero of the final candidates have IB experience, but instead have 2-3 years of brokerage/asset management experience.
MetLife isn’t a MF brother
I lol'd but I have seen this happen before. Definitely the exception and not the rule, however.
But your mom is!
Likely talking about Carlyle. They hire a lot of people from pure RE backgrounds. Some REIB people, but since they strictly do asset level investments, banking training isn’t as important.
People also just throw around the term “MF” like it’s nothing. Everyone has a different definition. He’s likely talking about a large fund but it definitely isn’t Centerbridge or Rockpoint lol
I do think real estate as a whole, or perhaps this forum should create a list of top-tier shops - could be a fun exercise. Typically, I have found you do have these larger investment shops (Blackstone, Starwood, etc), but then you have high-quality asset-specific or regionalized operators that are equally great shops that happen to be lesser known on this forum.
Top firms for REPE include BX, Brookfield, TPG, KKR, Angelo Gordon, GreenOak, KSL, GLP, RockPoint, Carlyle, Bain, Northwood, CIM
