Hello, I'm a recent grad going to LSE for the Msc. Finance and Private Equity, so I want to start thinking ahead for the recruiting season, as the tittle says I have a hard time figuring out if i would preffer to target REPE funds or traditional PE (off course also going to interview for banking, but want to try and go directly into PE), anyone has had experience in both areas and can tell about the pros and cons of each?
Thanks a lot for any answers, and please dont tell me how difficult it will be, I know but thats what excites me
Choose whichever you personally find more interesting
Odd question? The difference is that REPE focuses on real estate and traditional private equity focuses on companies. Which you would prefer is dictated by which subject you care more about.
General PE is a more broader field (obviously) than REPE. If you are interested in real estate, then REPE is perfect for you. The only downside is you are very scoped in to a specific industry (real estate) where as with general PE you would be exposed to a more wider range of companies.
So if you are unsure what industry you want to focus in then I recommend general PE that will either have you work on a wide variety of companies or will specialize you in an industry for you. However, if you know real estate is your calling then go for the REPE.
