How much can I make from a career in MM PE London?

Trying to understand total compensation for MM PE in London. I have found it very difficult to obtain compensation figures for MM PE.

What is the typical % of total carry that is allocated to different investment professionals, from Associates to Partners?

Typical base / cash bonus / carry for Associates and how this increases with seniority?

Any input is much appreciated!

 

In the MM team of a U.S. MF with GBP 95 base + 100% bonus. Team is small so hopefully will be a lot of carry to go around. From what I’ve seen American funds pay way more than U.K. based ones. Also if for whatever reason I don’t like it and want to go somewhere else I suspect the branding I have will carry a lot of weight.

This is obviously a world away from a BC Partners or a Duke Street, or even god forbid a Terra Firma. Like anything else career related, doing your DD and having broader conversations with people in the industry pays huge dividends especially given how much variety there is in the MM space.

May I ask, do Associates get carry? Or is it VP+?
