Hi Trinidad, whoops, looks like nobody chimed in here.... maybe one of these discussions below is relevant:
If we're lucky, maybe I can guilt some users to help you out: @PEguy2011" @tylerteter1" Zizi
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Both immensely successful platforms, especially Platinum. I've heard LL hours are Moelis level bad though, and Platinum isn't much better.
Both are phenomenal buyside opps though.
Have worked with Platinum as a banker and can confirm it is well performing shop. They are known for putting in many low ball bids and will scoop up shittier assets.
Thanks for the info. Anyone else?
To the top!
