Does anyone have any insight into the infrastructure group at AustralianSuper? Know they've done some large digital deals in the past (Databank, Vantage), and was curious on comp, hours, culture, etc. Also any insight if they do more direct investing or co-invest would be helpful. Thanks

Based on the most helpful WSO content, AustralianSuper is one of the Australian superannuation funds capable of investing directly in infrastructure within Australia. However, outside their home market, they typically invest directly alongside a more experienced fund manager. This suggests a mix of direct investing and co-investing strategies depending on the geography and deal specifics.
Regarding compensation, hours, and culture, there isn't specific information in the dataset provided. However, given their capability to execute large deals like Databank and Vantage, it's likely that their infrastructure team operates at a high level of professionalism, with competitive compensation aligning with the broader infrastructure investment market.
For more detailed insights into comp, hours, and culture, you might consider reaching out to professionals in the industry or exploring additional WSO threads focused on AustralianSuper.

Garbage team that got mostly wiped out last year. Only really do co investments now, North Am team will probably get axed in the next couple years just looking at Australian politics. Used to be good though
What happened to them last year? What do you mean wiped out?
They only care about reducing cost, so generally taking whatever lumpy co-invest no one else wants just to deploy capital.
