Pros

- Differentiated verticalized approach to investment team staffing, with partners from across geographies staffed to encourage a consensus-driven deal process and hence, fewer potential investment mistakes

Cons

- Slow decision making with conservative investment style leads to limited deal momentum and capital deployment, especially in emerging markets - Hence, this results in below-par career progression, as promotions are evaluated on a global basis
