Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about InfraRed Capital Partners in the provided context. However, here are some general insights about the infrastructure private equity space that might help:

  1. Ranking Among Peers in Infra Mid-Market: Firms like GIP (Global Infrastructure Partners) are often considered top-tier in the infrastructure PE space, with others like EQT and CIP being strong European players. InfraRed's specific ranking isn't mentioned, but mid-market infra firms typically focus on stable, cash-flow-generating assets.

  2. Exit Opportunities: Exits from infrastructure PE roles can include moving to larger infrastructure funds, transitioning to traditional PE, or joining infrastructure-focused groups at investment banks like Morgan Stanley Infrastructure. The example of an Analyst moving to Morgan Stanley Infrastructure aligns with this trend.

  3. Compensation for Analysts and Associates: In general, infrastructure PE compensation tends to lag behind traditional PE at higher levels. At the Analyst/Associate level, the pay difference is smaller, but traditional PE firms often offer better long-term earning potential, especially when carry is considered. Specific pay figures for InfraRed are not provided in the context.

If you're looking for more detailed insights about InfraRed Capital Partners specifically, you might want to explore additional WSO threads or reach out to professionals in the space.

Very reputable name in the core and renewables space. Usually bucked with the likes of Amber, John Laing, Equitix, etc. Pay is slightly below  market but hours are much better and culture is a huge plus for them. All in all great shop for those targeting a longer term sustainable place rather than the most aggressive comp structure. 

 

Sorry but this comment is very inaccurate. How can you say so? Some of these are listed and have public disclosures… how can you claim that if the annual report, for Amber for instance, states a massive discount to NAV and 6% IRR since inception?

 

OP here - thanks for the responses. I am more interested in value-add/PE-side of infrastructure because in the long-term I want to work in traditional PE, however if comps/exit opportunities are good I don't mind joining for 3 years. 

Would joining InfraRed make sense or would you recommend to do additional off-cycle internships in IB/PE?

 

To OP: From what I’ve observed  (peers around me), it’s generally harder to move from infra to other sectors of PE — unless you're targeting infra-adjacent teams like renewables or digital infra within traditional PE firms. On the flip side, it seems easier to break into infra from other groups like generalist IB, PUI, leveraged finance, structured/project finance, or traditional value-add/carve-out PE.

 

Any updates on culture and comp for Infrarsd in their NYC office? Looking at for SA/AN1

 

Any new insights on comp at analyst and associate level, and culture?
