solid fund, very good returns, a lot of aum growth. they have done some really interesting deals, including lineage logistics with a few big hitters invested including sundheim's fund. i would classify them as closer to eqt / kkr than the miras / brookfields / gips of the world. more pe, less infra, did a big cable deal with TPG last year. don't know a lot about the culture but get the sense it's intense based on the blackstone pedigree and the fact they've grown so fast. i have interacted with their industrials and telecom guys and liked the experience. they're very sharp but not in an aggressive way and generally easy to work with.

 

Thanks. Very helpful. Do you have any idea on the WLB of their mid-level guys?

 

Oh god. Even at the VP/Principal level? What about their culture and average hours/week?

 

So is WLB generally a myth in Infra PE as well or would I have to look beyond the aforementioned firms? 

 

I have been trying to figure this out myself and I’m pretty sure it is a myth (at least for the direct independent funds). I think there was some remark out there from one of the older Infra megathreads about hours being generally better. But I don’t think that’s the case anymore. All these shops grind as far as I can tell.

 

not good. believe it's pretty tough still as they're fairly lean and a lot of ability to get promoted fast so people generally push pretty hard
