Does any have any insight on this firm? They're of the few shops that recruit undergrads. I've gathered that they're a UMM PE fund focused on financial services.
How much would you be pigeonholed?
Looking for information in terms of comp/culture/exit opps to bigger funds/etc.

Know someone there rn. solid shop with a pretty good culture. Heard good things from him
MM not UMM
what would you qualify as MM/UMM/MF?
MF >$5bn recent fund UMM $3-5bn recent fund MM $0.5bn-3bn recent fund LMM $0.5bn recent fund
Friend interned there. Had a good experience and got a good SA gig from having it on her resume when she was recruiting.
They recruit out of undergrad? Are they flexible in terms of the recruiting timeline?
They take analysts. Not sure about flexibility.
I think it's safe to say they are one of the most "purely" FIG focused financial services PE firms in the game, maybe with the exception of Flexpoint / Reverant.
So, exit ops will be much more significantly limited than if you were to go to a generalist fund / FIG fund that invests more on the services / fintech side (and less in balance sheet driven businesses).
No clue on culture / comp.
Generally speaking, unless it's an analyst role at a MF / larger UMM, exit ops are better out of a solid IB group. You get more reps and analysts in PE really aren't delegated much meaningful responsibility on deals, whereas in banking you're getting more reps developing the core skills you need to demonstrate as a PE associate with as little hand holding as possible.
The firm seems to be somewhat focused on FinTech/tech-enabled services from what I hear. My thought was that if a mid-tier BB analyst exits to the same quality of fund, why not just skip the two years.
Stone Point, J.C. Flowers, Atlas Merchant are some other names you're missing
Flexpoint still looks at HC tech and services too.
I would imagine he could use the fintech angle to lateral into some broader tech-focused funds that have some fintech as part of their strategy (e.g. TA, STG), but I don't know beyond that.
aquiline does VC, healthcare, and business services as well. vast majority is FIG but wanted to put it out there.
Heard people mention reps a lot. What exactly does that and "meaningful responsibility" mean here? Thanks.
Per Oregon (https://www.oregon.gov/treasury/invested-for-oregon/Documents/Invested-…) returns look pretty underwhelming. 2005/2010 funds at single digit IRRs. 2015 fund marked at a 30%+ IRR but likely pretty immature.
Not sure what it means for that 30% IRR to be "immature". I was thinking that return was a good sign?
A 30 percent net return is definitely a good sign, my point was just that five years is generally early in the life of a fund and those returns are generated in part by paper gains and they may come down as the fund matures.
Any info on which HHs they use?
they don't use HH for juniors, very surprising
How do they recruit? Internal HR? Dont see any HR team on their website
