From what I know..

MF and UMM are ~$250-350 all-in (with Apollo at ~$400). Base is usually in the 125-175 range.

MMs sit around ~$200-250. Some throw in shadow carry and coinvest.

LMMs are more ~$175-225. Although, some do dip below that benchmark for a really small fund (something like ~$120-150).

Recent fund size is a better metric, you can find funds by searching for "{insert firm name} palico" on google.

MFs are >$5Bn UMMs ~$3-5Bn (some are more than $5Bn) MMs ~$500M-2Bn LMMs ~$100-500M
