CPP Investments (US)

Fellow primates, anyone got info on CPP? How they’re doing, comp, culture, anything would be helpful. Saw a posting for analyst in NY quoting base comp at 125-150k, seems super high. Also curious about working at pension funds in general. Obviously huge in Canada, asking more for US.

They're a massive global institutional investor, one of the biggest. Their NYC office is a quasi-headquarters for them, biggest outside Toronto I believe.

It's a recognizable name globally and they're smart folks, pay well (at least in Canada they pay their real estate team more in line with traditional PE from what I've heard), and work more than a typical pension but less than a typical REPE shop.

They're largely direct investors, and as someone else said deals are likely to be boring due to risk profile although you'll get to do more portfolio/OpCo takedowns.

 

Just saw the latest job post on LinkedIn. looks like Associates are pulling in 150–180K base. That’s pretty wild… anyone have a sense of what the bonus looks like on top of that? And probly deferred bonus / carry?
