NAPE ASSOCIATE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Associate program is a two year commitment (with potential for promotion to Vice President following business school) and has been an important component of Bain Capital throughout the history of the firm.  It provides a differential experience due to the roles Associates play as well as our value-added approach to investment management. 

The breadth of industries, the multiple types of investments, and the overall deal volume provide a unique opportunity for Associates to gain significant experience in a short period of time.  Bain Capital professionals are exposed to a broad set of situations and companies, and systematically develop skills as a value added investor -- not just a financial engineer.  Associates will learn how to evaluate investment opportunities through the application of fundamental strategic analysis in addition to the more traditional financial modeling.  Associates may also be exposed to a variety of portfolio company issues (e.g. potential add-on investments, liquidity options, improving core operations) and will gain unique operating experience. In addition, Associates will benefit from a comprehensive training program that is designed to introduce Bain Capital's value-added investment approach.
