High-teens returns, BX name have driven exceptional fund growth since the inception. Hit 20 bil and then 40 bil AUM years earlier than expected, and the group head is a killer that wants to ramp to 100 as quickly as possible. One of the firm's best, if not their absolute best, strategies in the M&A slowdown, especially on a risk-adjusted basis. If you want to be in infra, this is one of the top 2-3 names to recruit for.

Not sure if they hire ASOs but midlevels (and up) seem to be riddled with laterals or post-MBAs from "standard" 2+2 IB -> PE paths as opposed to a hyperfocus on infra specialization. 

 

What gives on the lack of hyper-specialization? Is this for junior talent to be trained by the midlevels or what’s the look there? Thanks

in 2024 - most consider renewables to be a sub sector of infra. Traditionally, a few years ago, it was not (minimal buyside / PE interest in renewables prior to 2020)

Infra definition has been expanding over time. Used to mean hard/real assets like toll roads and airports. now includes digital (data centers) and renewables

this is a brookfield thing that a few others mimic. GIP has generalist associates which cover renewables + infra in one role to my knowledge.
