Do you talk to Ackman daily? Can't imagine who else would be frequently calling Pershing a top fund on the street otherwise, and I'm not even one of his haters.

To your question, idk probably $300k-$500k coming out of PE and depending on that year's performance. But who knows and who cares, those seats are so hard to come by they won't be won by someone with a passing interest because they pay well.

 

Pershing’s returns are strong, certainly better than most L/S funds. Given the size of the team it is paying well above $400k to someone coming from PE. For context, $350k is comparable to what a lot of “good” HFs pay people out of banking.
