Glenmede private investments internship

Just wondering if this would be a good summer internship to position myself for a full time PE role, rather than taking the traditional IBD route.

"Investments in Private Equity provide the potential for enhanced returns versus traditional stock and bond portfolios. Glenmede carefully chooses its Private Investments in the context of broad investment choices to provide its clients with an opportunity to earn outsized returns. These investments may be appropriate for certain qualified clients who are willing to commit funds on a long-term basis and are prepared to incur a higher level of risk in pursuit of potentially higher rates of return. (READ MORE)

Private Investments in sectors such as Leveraged Buyout, Growth Equity, Distressed, Real Estate and Venture Capital can provide clients with strategies that are not available in the public markets. Sponsors of Private Equity funds are active owners who build new companies, fund high levels of growth, restructure or re-configure businesses, or execute turnarounds of struggling businesses.

With over fifty years of combined private investment experience, Glenmede's alternative asset professionals have long-standing relationships with successful fund sponsors and access to "top tier" institutional quality partnerships. Glenmede's private investment vehicles employ a fund-of-funds approach - providing access through a single investment vehicle to an array of managers. Diversification is achieved through allocation across managers, vintage years, geographies, and sponsor groups."

Many things happened and I'm just full of doubts... Help!

Hello all monkeys,

During the last couple of weeks many doors have opened to me and I'm full of doubts about what should I do. My main objective in the medium term (1-2-3 years) is to be in London working for a (big, if possible) PE firm. Bear in mind that right now I am in the Netherlands studying a MSc, and these are the opportunities I have:

1) Is very possible that I will start an internship in a Valuation group of a Big 4 in January while finishing the MSc.

2) I have the chance of a +6 months internship in a MM IB (M&A) in other country (neither NL or UK)

3) I might have the chance, although this will be more difficult, of being a full time PE analyst in a FoF with +180 billions in AUM, here in NL.

Now, I am full of doubts about what would be the best path to get to where I want (PE in London). I will do number 1 for sure, I like valuation and this internship looks really interesting. I thought about trying to do internship no2 starting in July and then maybe try to move to another IB. The other option is to keep with the Valuation internship until around August and then apply for the FoF, stay there for 1-2 years and then try to jump.

Of course, there are many other options that I don't have (yet) but if you think that are good paths I will look for them.

Thanks a lot.

PE Resume

What would one's resume expect to look like after two or so years of PE experience (assuming you went through two years of banking as well)? Would you demote your IB section to just a few lines listing major transactions and use half the page for your PE gig? Any templates/examples would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

PE internship - door opener or irrelevant?

$

Hey guys,

I'm soon starting at one of MBB and have enough time to absolve a PE internship in between. The funds I'm interested in include 3i, Ardian as well as Bridgepoint, do you think it may help to move into PE later on if you already have absolved an internship in this industry?
It will probably help to get into the respective fund later on (given cultural fit and internship performance), but what about other funds? Any thoughts?

Thx a lot for your time!


Changing Industry Focus

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how difficult it is to change industry vertical after 2 years in a vertical that is seen as more specialized (i.e. 2 year of FIG PE to transition to consumer / healthcare, etc).

Any insight on how other firms view this sort of transition would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Screening in CIQ for firms acquired via LBO - historic

Hi guys,

I'm currently doing some research about the influence of hot debt market on the leverage of LBOs and the subsequent firm growth of the targets.

I use Mergermarket to construct the list of LBOs in line for my research, but unfortunately Mergermarket doesn't provide financial information about the targets.
For this point I'm using Capital IQ.

My first attempt was screening all firms involved in any transaction during the period of the Mergermarket sample. I then tried to link both datasets, which did work only for a small fraction of LBOs. The most targets from the Mergermarkets haven't been listed in the Capital IQ screening result.

So my question is, whtether it is possible in Capital IQ to screen for firms which have been explicitly involved in LBOs? Maybe then I would be able to link the two datasets.

Best regards,

Big Announcement: WSO Private Equity Official Resume Template for Experienced Professionals with Deal Experience is Now Public!:

Click here for the free investment banking resume template for college students.

For those of you with deal or project experience coming from Investment Banking or Management Consulting, looking to make sure your CV format is clean and make sure that your private equity resume is polished for those competitive buyside jobs in private equity and hedge funds, we have a great sample resume you can now use free of charge (attached to this post below). We're hoping this clean format gives you an even bigger edge in recruiting (besides being members of WSO :-). Also, don't forget that our private equity interview prep guide is now available after years in the making (here)!

As I mentioned earlier in the week when we released the investment banking resume template for undergraduates, we think the WSO templates give you a lot more flexibility on spacing. It's tough to condense all of your deal experience into a coherent summary, so we hope this is helpful (keep an eye out for the Private Equity Interview Prep Pack which we expect to have a beta version released by the end of February 2014)

This is the PE resume template we use in all of our the WSO resume reviews with experienced buyside professionals.

This particular banking resume sample is for experienced hires, not undergraduates. You should also not take these bullets since they just being used as placeholders / examples and aren't that strong...

Thank you all for supporting Wall Street Oasis!

FROM CONSULTING TO PRIVATE EQUITY

Hi everyone,
I'm writing this post to receive some advice and/or insight on what career steps I should take in order to break into Private Equity, my long term career goal.
First let me give you some background about myself: I'm a penultimate year student at a top 10, non-target (for ibd) U.K university. My plan to break into PE was and still is to start as an M&A analyst in a BB or an elite boutique. I have an SA offer at Deloitte consulting and have been applying for SA ibd positions. I only landed one interview, with Greenhill and Co. London, and got rejected after the 3rd and final round for cultural fit reasons, despite thinking I had done a good job ("too formal" was the specific feeback). I have just been rejected and am unsure of what steps I should take to break into PE. Should I consider grad-school to start off in ibd? Should I work as a consultant and then do an MBA? Is it possible and how likely is it to transition straight from consulting into PE?
Thanks for sharing your stories, insights and advice. I appreciate it.

Private Equity "Financial Analysis" salary help (2 yrs experience )

$
0

I'm trying to get a better grips on salary but the positions I've been interviewing for have all been with this "financial analysis" heading. Is there a way to separate the salary numbers I have for the firms to what conforms to this type of role? Looking at bigger firms like (KKR/Blackstone) and I'm assuming this is considered more back office since some responsibilities are:

Creating presentations/memorandums for senior management (CFO)
Build and maintain excel financial models
Perform Transaction Due Diligence
Research/Competitor Analysis
"Special Projects"

I have about 2 years experience now in portfolio forecasting so I'm trying to understand where exactly my salary would fall when looking at other listings.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can a private company create a share repurchase amendment after the fact?

$
0
0

I worked for a small start-up two years ago in which I earned a small percentage of fully vested Series A and Series B shares at the conclusion of my time in the company. I resigned under good terms.

Today I received an email from the company containing an amended agreement which includes share repurchase rights for any members under any circumstances that the company sees fit. The email implies that this amendment stands regardless of my opinion of the terms; there is no signature page for me to sign.

The email also included the supposed fair market value of my shares. The stated value seems very low to me, not worth the hassle to sell. The agreement states that the fair market value is determined by the managing member of the company (the CEO). Two months ago, I received an offer from the company to sell my shares at this price and declined.

I do not wish to sell my shares for such a low amount. With these new repurchase rights, might I be forced to? If the repurchase rights were not in the agreement that I signed two years ago, can the company force this amendment on me?

Thank you!

Growth Equity Brush Up / Interview Prep

$
0

Hi all,

I've spent the past year and a half in a portfolio company of a megafund working largely on turnaround projects, supply chain, corporate finance and supporting the requests from the sponsor. Prior to that I spent two years in a top group at GS/MS/JPM and am now beginning to look for growth equity roles. Given I didn't look at the buyside at all while I was in banking, I never went through interview prep and have gotten rusty on some of the typical modeling/case study type prep. I have two questions:

1. Though I know growth equity shops can have vastly different interview processes, what are some of the most common types of interviews and if modeling is involved, could share specific examples of what is typically provided to the interviewee, what is expected to be built out during the interview and what is the end result our output expected.

2. Does anyone know any good prep sites or online courses (for free or for purchase) that would be more closely geared towards growth equity type interviews (on the modeling side in particular). I know there are plenty of LBO practice models, but my understanding is that for mid to early-stage growth interviews, the model would not be a typical LBO template model.

Thanks for any thoughts or advice on how to prep for these interviews as I ramp up my outreach to firms.


What should a Cover Letter look like for a non-target candidate and general PE advice

$
0
0

Hey guys, so I don't want to make this an introduction thread or anything, but I'm hoping to go into PE one day, but I feel like I am an atypical candidate because I am [vastly] under-qualified unless I really catch some fortunate breaks.

Quick bio: I'm currently a senior Finance major at a non-target (but a top-25 overall undergrad business school; top-10 among public schools). I have a very sub-par GPA (a little below 3.0). I don't have any jobs lined up for after graduation, but I am graduating a semester early in December (3.5 years). I've held an internship for four summers, but only one of those was even somewhat relevant to what I want to do (and that was my first internship, which was at a MM in the wealth management side of the company -- though I'm still looking at Asset Management careers as well).

As I was looking at various job postings sites, I came across a very interesting opportunity. It is with a small PE firm (only a couple years old), and they are looking for interns for a couple of months. While getting an internship out of college isn't exactly ideal, I think that this is the best-presented opportunity for me if I hope to one day transition into PE. I have no IB experience, but I am about to finish an M&A class here at school and have become fairly solid at modeling, interpreting the three financial statements, and understanding multiples, valuations, etc.

I understand that I'm not an ideal candidate, but what made this opportunity particularly appealing was that I didn't have to have any prior experience, and they seem to stress the importance of wanting to train their interns, which would provide a fantastic opportunity to learn more about PE and hopefully help me land a FT gig after or perhaps transition into another industry where I could gain further experience necessary to revert back to PE later.

With that being said, what should I include in a cover letter? Should I touch upon my low GPA and [somehow find a way to] explain why it shouldn't deter them from considering me? If anyone could provide any advice/suggestions for how I ought to approach the cover letter I would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom. Not to sound overly corny, but after reading the qualifications of the desired candidate it appears as if they stress the importance of the individual and his learning more-so than their background/qualifications.

I realize that it's almost seemingly impossible to break into PE without relevant IB or consulting experience, and I think it's too late to find something in that regard, but I'm an optimist and keeping my chin up. Thanks to all in advance.

Lifestyle of a Pre-MBA Associate at VC vs. Buyout Shop

Hi everyone,

I've searched around and it seems like, as a Pre-MBA associate, you should expect to work banking level hours (or more) if you are at a mega buyout fund (KKR, TPG, and the likes). I was wondering if anyone has knowledge of the work/life balance at a major VC firm? My guess is that hours in VC would likely be fewer, but this is complete conjecture.

Thanks!

Junior year Summer PE Internship

$
0
0

Hey all! I have a question that I wanted to get some additional perspective on. I'm a junior at a non-/semi-target school and recently got an offer from a small, lower-MM PE firm for the summer. Pay is pretty competitive, and they said that I would be doing a lot of industry research and helping out with deal sourcing as well as some modeling if I can develop those skills before summer rolls around. From what they said, I don't think I'll just be sitting around making cold calls all day. The firm is small but growing, and they made it pretty clear that if I did a good job over the summer, they would take me on full time right out of undergrad.

Right now I'm waiting to hear back for a BB IB position, and I have one more superday coming up with another firms S&T, so this is the only offer I have at the moment. To me, this seems like a really exciting opportunity to get some buy-side experience as an undergrad as well as secure a full-time offer. I liked the people that I've talked with, and they seemed committed to helping me develop skills that will make me more useful to the firm further down the road.

How is a PE undergrad internship viewed? I've read some similar threads about going PE directly after undergrad, and it seems like the main issue is not getting a lot of modeling experience relative to IB. I plan on doing a lot of modeling practice before the summer rolls around so that I can take on as much responsibility as I can if I do take this position. I just wanted to get some more perspectives on this before I make a decision.

Healthcare Private Equity; is a medical degree necessary?

All input is appreciated.

If I were to become an investment banking analyst in a healthcare group...would it be possible to make the jump to PE associate without a medical degree?

Is a medical degree necessary (or helpful) with moving up the ladder in healthcare PE?

I realize that for venture capital it would be necessary to a greater extent than it would be in large scale PE.
