Career Resources
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).
In terms of AUM or fund size how you would you characterize MF & Upper MM, MM, and lower MM firms?
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
Super helpful, thanks!
Is this for first year Associate or?
Yeah
I can confirm these ranges are pretty much spot on from working in the industry and knowing what friends are getting, but there's obviously a little more variability than banking. Shadow carry and coinvest are really on a case-by-case basis - I wouldn't say it's the norm for associates, even in the middle market.
