Your moves

  1. This year

    Bonderman estate holds a meaningful stake — build a line to the estate's counsel before a process starts.

  2. 1–3 yr

    Realistic entry is buying the estate stake, not a full control flip; the Wright/Wagner group runs the team.

  3. 3–7 yr

    If the group re-syndicates, the estate exit is the natural moment to size up.
