Evaluating In-House Fund Opportunities
Posted: Sat Dec 06, 2025 4:46 pm
I'm a midlevel associate in a practice that is currently getting a lot of buy-side interest (think securitizations / PE secondaries - not those but similarly going through a hype cycle now), and accordingly I'm fortunate enough to pretty regularly get inbounds that are facially appealing. Unfortunately I have no good idea how to evaluate the strength of the actual business unit I'd be working for. I very much don't want to go to a fund that's actually doing poorly and have my product axed in 18 months. For folks who went in that direction, how did you evaluate the job offer?
