Anyone have insights on Carlyle's AlpInvest group, particularly the Co-invest team? Specifically wondering about culture, reputation, hours, pay etc. Haven't seen much recent info on them on this site.

They’re really a portco of Carlyle - and in its core a pension fund. How do you think a fund full of guys dreaming to impress Carlyle enough for that tiny chance of a seat at the real table would be? Nothing against co-invest but seems like a very suboptimal environment. Guy I know there apparently has a rough time without the usual upside but could be fund/office specific
You have no idea what you're talking about:
- Alpinvest is one of the strategies/verticals within Carlyle, not even close to resembling a portfolio company
- Alpinvest used to be seeded by a large European pension, I guess that's what you're getting at, with this comment? But that's no longer the case
Its a well respected platform.
Completely agree, environment seems suboptimal given the psychology at play. not surprised your comment was taken negatively haha, but i'm sure there's some truth to it. it's just how it goes
lol
Great platform. All really chill people, pay will be below traditional PE but still very good. Probably hard to move up internally since I think it's top heavy, but if you can it would be a great place to be a lifer.
Worked with one of the senior guys for 5+ years previously. Solid PE professionals, but super brash culture (not abusive though) but very in your face, so not for the faint of heart.
Friend who works there says pay is in-line with certain other Carlyle groups besides US Buyout (i.e. CEOF, Infra, RE), so mid 200's first year. Despite co-invest model that's 1 and 10, team is still lean relative to AUM (apparently by far the largest co-investment fund out there so close to UMM economics).
Bump any more color on culture?
do they hire undergrads?
Typically no
