Fund II (2013) was 2.3x / ~35% IRR.
Fund IV (2019) is 1.6x.
Comp probably in line with competitors like LB, IFX at around ~£160k all in. Probably no carry at Associate level.
Unsure on culture, but seems they are focused and solid at what they do based on fundraising history and returns.
Can echo only part of above comment.
- New fund will be around EUR 3bn
- Had pretty strong exits in recent months
- Comp. 80-85 + 100% + mini Carry allocation.
Suspect they are struggling on Dexters and Idealista. Apart from that I guess they are a good fund with bright people.
I work at a SWF in the direct investing team, but my friends on the primary funds team is in Oakley. Great shop doing interesting deals in the UK and Europe and the people seem friendly and nice; returns are around or close to top quartile generally too.
Is Oakley paying just £80k to associates?? That’s half of what they pay in banking
Welcome to London PE 😎. That’s £80k base.
It's not even 'bad'. Associate at Advent aren't far above from my understanding. (95k 2-3 years ago as Associate 1). Continental Europe is worse and usually lower bonus (banking bonus isn't quite as competitive outside London)
Current Advent pay is 110k (or 120?) with >100% bonus
So essentially all investment banking analysts / associated who move to PE agree to a massive pay cut? What happens if you say hey I want my banking salary matched?
They'll just hire someone from Big 4 with a total comp expectation of <£50k who would gladly take an £80k salary.
Yup. Or even from consulting.
