This is GBP. Not that high when you look at AuM / latest fund size for these players
Forgot to add as well but TPG GP Solutions (Secondaries) is around £280k for Associate 1 and Blackstone Strategic Partners probably above the 3 from my earlier reply
Any datapoint on the likes of Hamilton Lane, Adams Street, Coller?
Any insights on culture at each shop?
What does comp look like now? Is £100k + 100%
