MegaFunds IR/Fundraising Compensation

Hi Chimps,

Anyone has relevant information on compensation for fundraising/IR professionals at megafunds, especially as a VP or Principal? Also, what carry allocation should someone expect at that level?

I've searched but found limited amount of information on the subject.

Appreciate your insight. Thanks!

 

Work as an associate at a competitor to HPS in this type of role and can confirm these ranges are accurate. Did ~285 this year although not a great comp year since deployment was down across the street.

 

Dad is an MD at a megafund. Told me he paid he is paying his first and second year VPs ~$500k this year.

He's in a pretty senior position now where main responsibilities are just overseeing the office and making sure the team runs smoothly (works about 3-5 hours a day it feels like sometimes from what I can tell). His lifestyle 10 years ago when I was growing up was pretty difficult I imagine. He would be in a different country/state for 2/4 weeks in the month and I would often not realize he's away for a couple days given how late he would work too. Note that he works in the more technical side of fundraising vs the marketing/project management side.

He's very private about how much he makes (will never tell me) but we live in an $8 million home and my parents own multiple $2-4 million vacation homes as well as a number of other real estate investments (1 bedroom apartments to rent out, etc.) and stock portfolios of about $200-300k for my siblings and me, let alone himself. Genuinely not trying to come across as braggy - I understand the position I'm in and just wanted to provide color on compensation to the extend that I’m able to give based on my lifestyle. Honestly have no idea how much I would peg his annual compensation to be but would guess $1-3 million?
