If you're talking about names like GIC/CPP/OTPP in London, probably 150-200K GBP all-in, bonus would be 60-100% of base
SWFs in Middle East (ADIA etc.) would pay more (300K USD+)
Does comp at Middle Eastern SWFs scale well at Senior Associate level and beyond?
Do they mostly do primary/secondary and coinvesting instead of direct?
