What is it like working for the sovereign wealth funds?
Specifically for the Gulf States, though if someone had an experience at Norway’s fund I’d love to hear it!
These funds have a lot a lot of capital, and it looks like they’ve got some heavy hitters joining them recently.
My old firm used to do alot of deals with the sovereigns and we were always envious of their hours. Rarely did we see them stay past 6pm in NY (unless the deal was imminent). If you get the opportunity and want to live a happy life, that's the way to do it. Just my 2 cents
Wow! Super helpful. Don’t most investment team members have to relocate to their respective home countries though?
No, some industry teams such as tech can be based in the US depending on the fund.
I have heard for both Middle East and Asia SWF career progression is faster for their nationals.
