Any idea what that means from a $ perspective? I know they don't charge a lot in carry.

 

Their talent is kind of weak...lately they've been hiring brokers to fill out sourcing roles on the investment team

If you ask within WSO, the view will always be “not that great” because the firm just doesn’t play in the same area of PE the most 21yo in WSO want to be in. It’s mostly fund of funds, with co investment and secondaries capabilities. It has strong quant research capabilities and strong tech compared to other shops. The evergreen offering is absolutely smashing the competition - and is catching up to the likes of partners group. Just google their performance and AUM in evergreens.
 

Are the new hires strong or weak? Only way to judge that is through their education and past background on LinkedIn.. and how much weight you place on that. The office in the US is in a smaller town away from city so maybe that’s a barrier to entry but senior hires in EMEA that I can see last few years are not what I’d call weak in the slightest. 
 

But overall, It’s a place where you’ll likely have a very relaxed environment compared to the traditional GP firms, people are probably much more chilled, you may actually get to see the inside of your apartment in the daylight when you go home after work :O


But are you going to get most people in WSO saying it’s the best thing in the world - no. Because it’s just different to what these guys here are after.
