Can only speak for London, but know CPPIB is paying GBP 80k base for their grads, which is higher than any banks (to my understanding, I think top of the market is MS and the like at 70k?)

Temasek was paying 55k base prior to the COVID bump (which is also slightly higher than some of the banks at 50 base). Presumably it would be higher now. Would use Temasek as a reference point given the parallels between Temasek and GIC.

Understandable why I am getting MS - I too would be highly suspicious if I heard the figures. But in all honesty, I have no incentive to lie or cause disinformation, all I can say is CPP has traditionally (until this year) not have a London grad programme, traditionally hiring was very ad hoc and they would in times extend a long term off-cycle internship offer (for up to a year).  

This year being the first-ever grad intake year + a small cohort, the GBP 80k base (i.e. USD 110k) could very well be parity across their global programmes as they do take grads in Toronto and HK. As an FYI 80k base is what you expect at BX for a corresponding (RE) role (this is for your benefit "FreeFall22" seeing as you are still and uni and keen at RE). Also another point worth noting is I have no insights into what bonus figures would be, but would certainly imagine it being LOWER than your EB/BB IBD, so total comp in my view will certainly be lower. That said, there are benefits to working to CPP (namely greater job security given that the capital is "perpetual" in nature)

Source: A number of my closest buddies are at CPP, and so these are reliable numbers and not me plucking it out of my ass for some nonsensical reason. By all means do your DD, speak to the people but am just trying to provide some colour for the uninformed. :) 

 

Another Canadian Pension Fund paying 75K base plus up to 75% bonus for grads in London
