Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific detailed information about PSP's infrastructure team in the provided knowledge base. However, Canadian pension funds like PSP are known for being significant players in the infrastructure investment space. If you're looking for insights into culture, hours, and pay, you might find parallels with other Canadian pension funds like OTPP or CPPIB, which are often described as having competitive pay, reasonable hours compared to traditional PE, and a collaborative culture.

For more specific details, you might want to explore threads or discussions directly related to PSP or reach out to professionals in the space for firsthand insights. If you'd like, I can guide you to similar threads or resources. Let me know!

Generally the Canadian pension funds have better WLB than MFs and tend to be less intense, however on live deals it will still be similar to large cap as they will compete on the same deals. The key difference is the velocity of transactions between the funds, as pension funds will tend to write significantly fewer checks than PE funds. Whereas pension funds might do 3/4 (max) deals a year globally, the MFs will do this amount in each region they operate in traditional markets. You will be exposed to more transactions in large cap but that comes with increased intensity of course.

On the pension funds themselves, OMERS have really struggled recently and have been burned by assets where they held a minority stake (Thames Water for example). This is pushing them to look at more majority stake opportunities but this is largely unproven for them given they typically parter and hold 50% in most of the assets they hold. CPP has been very active in Europe and have heard good things about the team. OTPP have been very quiet in recent years as their deployment has been at a standstill so interesting to see how they act in the coming years
