Research Analyst in Infra PE

Hi all. I currently work on the buyside in the fixed income team but have always been interested in Real assets specifically infra. After networking internally I’ve been offered a role as a research analyst focusing on Infra and natural capital. The job is essentially conducting thematic research and deciding fund strategy. I.e. if we should focus on deals in solar, data centres etc. Would also come in on deals but wouldn’t actually be underwriting them although we would need to understand the models etc. The job is also going to require a lot of autonomy & creativity as currently it’s being headed up by one person who’s come from Blackrock & he’s the only one on the team. For context this at a MM AM firm that invests in Infrastructure in the UK (think M&G, Allianz, Abrdn, Aviva Investors). Could I potentially head to an Infra PE role at somewhere like Brookfield for example after a few years of experience here? If not what kind of opportunities would be open to me?
