Based on the most helpful WSO content, there is no specific mention of Barings or its culture, compensation, or reputation in the provided dataset. Additionally, details about their acquisition of Artemis or their positioning as a Lifeco or PE shop are not included.

I'm sorry, but it looks like this may be out of my ability to answer... maybe some of the links below might help?

I know a guy there. He said the culture is good, pretty flexible, decent comp, etc. Sounds like they are still doing a 3x per week in person schedule in some of their offices.

They are a large global investment manager that manages MassMutuals money, which accounts for about 1/3 of their AUM, along with other institutional investors. Are they lifeco? No. Are they PE? No, they have a PE division that buys companies, but not “PE” in the sense that BX or KKR is “PE”, when these firms started out. Keep in mind the PE shops (previously mentioned) in the traditional sense of the word all now would likely have some similar investment product offerings that Barings would have (PE, Infrastructure, Credit, RE). Unless you’re pure-play PE, meaning all you do is PE, you’re designated as an investment manager by technicality. Being able to offer multiple investment products is key in amping up AUM, which is an industry trend to survive and be competitive, and a strategy all these companies are pursuing, hence explaining the Barings’ Artemis acquisition, amongst other company acquisitions that I’m sure that firm has made in the past. Long winded answer but seems like you need some clearing up. 

Fantastic culture/reputation in RE group and good pay relative to market/hours from what I hear. 

 

Salaries are a shit and new joiners are junior & cheap people. Apparently the European members are leaving individually due to the lack of third party money
