Average PE Analyst Salary London

Was offered £60k base + £30k bonus for a PE Analyst role in LDN.

Don't have much insight into PE Analyst pay, so was wondering whether that is more on the lower end - thanks in advance!

Broadly market (on the lower side of the market swathe). All-in An1 for PE in London is usually in the £90-110ish range from what I've seen.

Happy to be corrected by others on this - my assumption includes knowledge across UMM, pension funds, MF but a couple of assumptions in there.

 

Straight out of university. I’m not sure about the all-in Associate comp which may have additional carry / earn-in clauses. But at least for the pretty broad spread I’ve seen first hand my range is an average reflection of An1in PE (with maybe a +\- 10% error).

 

For An1 at CPP it is 70k base but believe that all-in comp is closer to 110 than 130, that sounds a little inflated.

 

Does anyone have a list of PE funds that recruit analysts straight out of undergrad? And are there summer internships for these positions or hires straight onto the grad programme?

£60k Base seems very fair but with regards to all-in comp, most MFs tend to pay >£120k from what I have heard most recently, but Analyst salaries in banking and, consequently, in PE moved significantly upwards over last 18 months.

This is largely in line with top bucket salaries across investment banks, which most funds will probably use as benchmark to satisfy their analyst.

If you look at the CVs of some of the analysts in London on LinkedIn, this confirms that the most likely way in is via their internship programme. Most of those guys actually had a competing IBD offer and then did the PE internship before the planned start date in banking.
