Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners

Unable to find much on this site or elsewhere for info on CIP. Interested in hearing anecdotes from anyone who's worked for or with them, regardless of location

I worked with them on a solar power station deal a couple of years back.

One of their PE Associate, fresh out of Goldman, could not get the model balanced...and it was not a one-time thing. I mean that Associate's modeling is really not good. Project management was not great as the workstreams were not arranged smoothly when they could have been done that way.

A single data point.  

 

I know a few people there and they are all extremely competent. I think it's a very reputable shop and you just happen to know the odd one out.

 

CIP is a good shop. Worked with someone on another deal who moved there a couple of years ago, and that person is an absolute powerhouse. Blew me away in negotiations, with a relatively unorthodox background - single data point though.

They are a lot more operational / asset-level focused than other more "corporate" infra PE shops, but they absolutely dominate in certain sectors (wind). You will see more people from big 4 / transaction modelling / developers etc. at CIP than you would find at other places. 

As a continental European player, expect comp to be (probably significantly) lower than comparably sized US funds, but they attract and retain decent people so YMMV.
