Success Stories & Case Studies

by a searcher from INSEAD

4 years ago

Hi Everyone,

I have been looking for a source of reading on search fund success stories.  I appreciate that there are a number of case studies from the B-Schools but I am looking for a more fulsome account of specific search funds, the strategy, what worked, what didn't work, lessons learned, etc.  Any pointers?  Thanks in advance!

AJ Wasserstein (sic?) from Yale is a good resource too.

I do think there is a good opportunity for a book here. Something like Jack Schwager's Market Wizards but focused on EtA transactions.
