Large Cap Infra PE London
Does anyone have updated views on large cap infra PE players in London? I am trying to understand whether large cap or UMM is where I’d like to place next, hence it would be great to get latest views on pay/hours/culture at the large funds. It would be great if people could leave a comment on the below funds (not exhaustive so please don’t crucify me if I have forgotten your MF)

Avoid going to GS / MSIP / JPM for buy-side unless you are willing to take a pay cut and have typical sell-side culture.
Heard a lot of good things about Stonepeak, they are very good with a lot of sharp people.
Ardian is a good, but very cheap firm where you will take a pay cut. Also, very little diversity. Their team in London is 10 dudes, a massive sausage party.
Antin is good and pays well with good culture but apparently, performance has been meh in recent times.
Brookfield is a sweatshop but very active in the space. Wouldn't want to work in Canary Wharf tho.
Blackstone Infra is good but a sweatshop. They are also notoriously known for demoting people, so if you have 2 years of experience and no buy-side experience they will put you as an Analyst 1.
KKR is a weird one, haven't heard too much of them. Their hiring is also very odd, half the Associates / VPs come from top-3 BB and the other half comes from RBC.
Extremely insightful, thank you. Do you have any views on ISQ? I heard that it has a banking style culture
RBC infra team is better than most BB infra teams FYI
Yeah RBC Infra is up there…
Bump
Any idea which headhunters Brookfield, ISQ, GIP or EQT are using?
Cheers.
Any info on the pension fund infra teams in london?
CPPIB, Omers, PSP and the like?
