Key market insights – Investment banks remain the core pipeline
From our analysis, nearly half of all new Infrastructure hires originate from Investment Banking, reinforcing the industry’s reliance on candidates with strong modelling and transaction experience. The lateral moves between funds represent the second-largest source of talent, meaning over 80% of hires already have direct deal experience.
Infrastructure funds are hiring from the bottom up
As expected, the market remains heavily execution driven with nearly three quarters of all hiring occurring at Analyst and Associate level. The trends demonstrate that funds are expanding teams to deploy capital and manage deal flow rather than restructuring leadership teams.
London continues to dominate Infrastructure talent
Despite the global nature of Infrastructure Investment, London remains the centre of gravity, accounting for the majority of talent movement across the European market and leading funds continue to compete for a highly concentrated pool of Investment professionals.
