REPE that does not work on DC investments
Hi all,
I'm a year 2 IB M&A analyst that is interested in jumping to REPE side.
But recently I've heard a lot that these days REPE involves a lot of work on DC (Data Center) investments.
I honestly am not interested in DC modelling and am honestly interested in REPE for the Resi/Commercial/Hospitality investment opportunities.
Is it possible to find a REPE job that does not entail DC side investments? How does mega REPE funds work? (i.e., say I join BX REPE team, would there be any way I could just focus on non-DC investments?) Really would appreciate your help / advice. Thank you.
Hate to be too blunt but you could just go for a firm that has a focus on those sectors over data centers? To answer your second question, yes, you can outline a preference for what type of deals you work on, but that will usually be driven by your experience.
For the most part, I'd say firms are still pushing hard allocations toward MF/Resi/Industrial, but you can (should) look up the portfolio of the companies you are interviewing with.
Thank you! I sit in APAC with language ability for a country that are quite focused on stable infra / DC investments. And the opportunities in RE is more limited here. But appreciate the clear answer that globally it is more generally focused on non-DC investments.
If you’re seriously considering a move into REPE, but still unsure whether you can avoid data center deals, it might be a sign to dig deeper into how these platforms are structured. Yes, it’s absolutely possible to focus on resi, commercial, or hospitality. But you’d want to be clear on that before making the jump. If you’re still at the stage of asking this in a forum, take the time to do more research or speak directly with folks in the space.
Yes - I agree and thank you for the honest feedback. I am only just starting to learn about this place. Will take up the advice and dig deeper. Thanks much, appreciate it.
