hi all. Currently a first year associate at a MM fund and was curious to see thoughts on this. is it permitted to work on a personal business while working in PE? Does it need to be disclosed if so? I know in IB that was the case, but not sure about PE Thanks!

Seen it done, disclosure to the firm was required. At more senior levels disclosure to LPs would also be required. A lot will depend on your situation - your aspirations, firm's culture, your colleagues, your energy levels - but thought I would share some observations from when I saw this. Think the positives are: applying what you are learning at work, building equity if it goes well, potentially perceived positively if your firm is entrepreneurial, potentially improves standing at work (owner mindset).

Most likely needs to be disclosed, check your firm's compliance policy
