Hi all,
I would be interested to hear from those working within the real estate divisions of Sovereign Wealth Funds. I've interacted with people from all sorts of REPE and FO's but never an SWF.
1). What is the culture like at an SWF (ADIA, QIA, Mubadala, GIC, Korea Investment Corporation etc.)? Are they sweaty or relaxed? Imagine this varies from firm to firm.
2). Again, I imagine this varies from firm to firm but what are the investment strategies at these places like? And I assume they are mostly LP's rather than doing direct deals themselves?
3). How is comp compared to MM/MF REPE? Do they allow co-invest or shadow carry (assuming shadow carry for SWF's)?
4). Do they provide additional benefits such as schooling for your kids, housing provision (if going abroad), etc?
5). I've heard if you are a non-national then your career can begin to stagnate. How true is this?
6). How good are the exit opportunities from a SWF?
Thanks!
Are you currently interviewing at one? Are you in the US? Posts appear to Show you are in the UK.
No very happy where I am; just interested.

Hi you can pm me. I wrote a review and suggestion about their MIP program on Glassdoor but got deleted. Their HR probably really strict about people talking about them on social media.
I am at a SWF. would say it is a bit slower, more traditional. they do have international programs, but they are way smaller than a BB or large corporation.
It is true that the family can move with you, we have done that before (no kids yet).
Haven't exited yet, so not sure what the options are. but our partners are other SWFs and funds.
I used to work at NBIM a few years back, we closed about 4-6 deals a year so a slower deal flow than some other RE funds. Very meticulous in the process but some great exposure. Amazing benefits though.
Can you please PM me? I’d love to hear more about it!
At what level do people usually switch to SWF's? Been playing with the idea of trying to get a job in one.
