Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights into energy and infrastructure funds in London that might align with your work-life balance (WLB) goals:
Canadian Pension Funds: CPPIB, OTPP, and Borealis are known for their strong infrastructure teams. They focus on direct investments, which often come with a more stable and long-term approach. Their return requirements are relatively low, and they invest their own money, which can contribute to a better work-life balance.
Regional and Niche Funds: Smaller funds or those with specific niches tend to have better WLB compared to larger funds. Funds under $1B, or even $500M, often operate at a slower pace with less competitive processes, which can result in a more manageable lifestyle.
Energy-Focused PE Firms: Premier Texas-based energy PE firms are noted for their reasonable work-life balance trade-offs. While this is more U.S.-centric, it highlights that specialized energy funds may offer better WLB compared to generalist megafunds.
European Infrastructure Funds: Funds like MEIF5 (Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund) are significant players in the space. While their flagship funds are large, they may still offer opportunities in smaller, more focused teams.
Long-Term Oriented Funds: Firms like Actis, which focus on energy and infrastructure in emerging markets, may provide a more balanced lifestyle due to their long-term investment strategies.
For a more specific list, you might want to explore smaller or mid-market funds in London that specialize in energy or infrastructure, as they are more likely to prioritize WLB over aggressive deal-making.

I think in general sovereign/pension funds are quite chill from what I heard, such as the usual Canadians (OTPP, CDPQ) and GIC, etc.

A friend of mine works at USS and loves it; incredible work life balance and still earning mid-6 figures.
