Based on the WSO dataset, the compensation for IR (Investor Relations) roles at major funds (MF) can vary significantly depending on the fund's size, location, and the seriousness with which they take their IR functions. While specific numbers for ASO and VP levels in MF IR roles aren't detailed in the provided context, it is mentioned that senior IR partners/principals can be compensated well if the fund values IR highly.

Regarding perks such as co-investment opportunities, the context suggests that at funds where IR is taken seriously, the IR team can have compensation and perks roughly on par with the investment team. This would imply that, at such funds, IR roles at the ASO and VP levels might also have access to similar perks like co-investment opportunities, assuming the fund places a high value on its IR team.

For more precise figures and details, it would be beneficial to look at specific fund reports or direct inquiries to individuals currently in these roles at the funds of interest.
