Would appreciate your insights. Thanks.

Vista has a group like this, I know a guy there. My understanding is they’re a support function for the deal team, creating writeups about companies / industries ahead of meetings and doing market mapping type exercises

Keep in mind that my answers in the other thread was geared toward research analysts. My firm only has analysts (2), they are supervised by a VP / Principal, but largely work independently. Their work is reactive, it is practically always driven by a demand from the investment team (ie. help me understand this) and the research team isn't really part of decision-making.
