Do these funds have an analyst program or do they recruit for associate only?
Also how does the compensation vary (eg for the associate level, does KKR/Apollo pay the same as their NY counterparts?) |
Unfortunately PE isn't that big in Asia. Most of the largest shops don't even have an office in Singapore.
If you're really looking for a role in buy-side, you should look at our local SWFs (
GIC/Temasek) or vanilla asset management (Fidelity/Templeton/Blackrock/Capital), many more opportunities in these areas compared to PE.
