Megafund Real Estate Arms

Currently a sophomore in college, been recruiting for junior summer internships for IBD at BB/EB. I plan on spending two years in real estate investment banking before moving on to REPE. What are the best real estate IB groups for Megafund real estate PE? Thanks

did a quick Linkedin search and found banks like BAML/MS/GS/Citi have a much larger presence at MF REPE than Barclays, UBS, Jeff.. not sure about why

Generally it's because of group size. Those groups are bigger and thus take more analysts per class. Barclays is a smaller group that recently just added Gaming & Lodging in NY. Jefferies only takes a few analysts per class split between NYC and Charlotte. Can't speak to UBS, but generally they have smaller groups across the board than the rest of the BB's aside from maybe DB and CS. The point is you will see people from all of these banks at the top REPE firms. Citi and BAML historically have sent the most, but again I also think those are the largest groups headcount wise.

 

Have a friend who was MS REIB / REPE and now is an MD at TPG REPE I believe. I think some other people I may be aware of went on to MF REPE from that group
