    Description

    Jefferies Private Capital Advisory is one of the pre-eminent advisors to financial sponsors and institutional limited partners on transactions involving the private equity secondary market. Our professionals work closely with private equity sponsors seeking to utilize the secondary market to generate liquidity through single- / multi-asset continuation vehicle transactions among other GP-led secondary transaction types. Additionally, the PCA team advises institutional investors such as sovereign wealth funds, pensions, endowments, foundations, and other large institutional investors in the private markets on the sale of portfolios of limited partnership interests in alternative asset funds.

    PCA Notable Facts

    • ~60 dedicated secondary advisory professionals worldwide based in New York, Dallas, Chicago and London
    • Signed / closed 24 GP-led transactions (e.g., continuation vehicles) totaling $10B+ of equity volume in the last 16 months (~20% global GP-led market share)
    • Advised on $160B+ of transaction value across 10k+ PE funds, including dozens of GP-led and LP-led transactions for 100+ repeat clients

    Description

    • Jefferies is seeking an experienced Associate to join its PCA team in Chicago
    • The PCA team is focused on executing GP-led and LP-led secondary transactions across the private markets (e.g., private equity, private credit, infrastructure, energy and real estate).
    • GP-led secondary transaction mandates include single- and multi-asset continuation vehicles, tender offers, structured preferred equity solutions, and NAV loans, GP stake sales, and various other financing solutions for sponsors and their portfolio companies. GP-led secondaries are an innovative and increasingly utilized liquidity solution for private equity firms and an important part of Jefferies full-service offering for leading financial sponsors.
    • The GP-led secondary market has rapidly grown from $14B of global transaction volume in 2017 to $52B in 2022, representing a 30% CAGR. Approximately half of GP-led secondary transaction volume consists of single-asset continuation vehicles, where a single portfolio company is recapitalized.
    • LP-led secondary transaction mandates include portfolio, single fund and co-investment secondary sale advisory, buy-side advisory, fund valuation and analytics and fund- and portfolio-level financing
    • Candidates will join a highly collaborative and dynamic team that often works in tandem with Jefferies sector bankers, leveraged finance and sponsor coverage teams on its transactions. Jefferies PCA offers a unique opportunity to work on transactions with meaningful exposure to senior bankers across Jefferies as well as leading private equity GP and LP clients. The Associate will play an integral role in transaction execution and new business development for ground-breaking secondaries advisory assignments.

    • Assist in preparing responses to due diligence requests from potential secondary investors
    • Communicate regularly with Jefferies' industry and financial sponsor coverage team members
    • Track market data to assist with PCA's communications with clients and industry coverage teams
    • Maintain a database of secondary investor profiles, investment strategies, and transaction feedback

    Qualifications / Credentials

    • Four-year Bachelor's degree, with a distinguished academic background
    • 3-6 years of relevant professional experience (e.g., investment banking, valuation advisory, alternatives investment management, private equity consulting)
    • Private equity secondaries investment / advisory experience is seen as beneficial, but is not a requirement
    • Analytical and quantitative problem-solving skills including academic / professional experience in financial modeling and valuation
    • High levels of maturity and ability to interface effectively with professionals at private equity firms, portfolio companies, and secondary investors
    • Willingness to work on a wide range of secondary transaction types across different segments of the private markets and industry verticals
    • Strong multi-tasking and organizational skills with consistent attention to detail
