Generally a solid MM fund, although have heard of some cultural / political internal issues (especially amongst the Brits)
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Any take on WLB and returns?
Top fund in terms of returns in the European mm. Heard it has a great WLB too, no insane MF hours (think 60-70hours average).
Anyone know what rough comp is for associates? And after how long would you expect to receive carry?
Who’s the headhunter for Inflexion?
Also curious
Don't know them intimately but I have met the london team a few times.Their returns are definitely above market average. I believe they've delivered over 3.5x MOIC / 30+%IRR on the last two funds.We used to come up against them on deals and they were definitely known as conviction buyers. By that I mean they were heavily focused on diligence and passed on the majority of deals shown to them. When they did see an asset they liked they were happy to pay a full price for it. If we were speaking to an M&A team we had a good relationship with and they told us that inflexion were running at the asset we wouldn't really bother bidding.They invest in businesses from 1-20m ebitda I think but I've seen them do bigger deals before.Main competitors are probably ECI and Livingbridge. Culturally they're very professional. Met them at the sell side banks networking days and they were always in full suits, spoke formally and only wanted to talk shop. I wouldn't say stuck up but very polished and focussed.WLB probably pretty consistent to UK MM PE which is 60/80 hours a week normally on the lower end but this heavily depends on deals.As their focussed on DD (most mm shops are) they like to hire ex accountants with M&A experience and ex bankers actually.I did actually interview at inflexion for an internship when I was at uni so probably not that applicable and was 5 years ago. I can't remember the process exactly but I do remember there was a case study with a purposeful error in it which they wanted you to point out.
Fund 4 (2015): 1.7x / 17% IRR / 3rd quartile
Fund 5 (2018): 1.4x / 31% IRR / 3rd quartile
as of June / Sept 2021
Just checked pitchbook and you’re completely right my bad. Last two funds were 25.5 and 27.5% IRR which is still pretty good but I deffo thought it was better.
Resonate with a lot of what's said on here, but think you guys may be quite kind in saying they're not too stuck up. From the 2 people I met, alot of the convo was about sports they competed at their boarding schools. As a European from a very good school, I could not join in the convo, and when I was asked what bank I worked at and who I knew, they sort of ignored me, even though I work in pe now. Maybe the fund and portfolio is great, but personally would look more for a diverse cohort
Hi, could you tell me more about this process please? Did you get a home case study that I can look into?
