How do HH differentiate themselves to PE firms?
As the title states - how do HH differentiate themselves to clients, i.e. PE firms? The top 5-6 HHs (CPI, Amity, etc.) largely have access to the same pool of banking/consulting candidates, at least in the US. So, how do HH firms stand out when trying to win a mandate from a PE firm? That is,...
