The Canadian Pension Plan pays a pretty penny. Plenty private capital professionals, both in private equity and private credit, plan for a career there; some, however, are just as happy to leave back to banking.

Adrien Aubague joined Goldman Sachs in London as a managing director this week, working in its European real estate credit team. He joined the bank from CPP Investments, the investment arm of the Canadian Pension Plan.

Aubgaue spent 11 years with CPP Investments in total, across London and Hong Kong, and from analyst all the way up to principal. In a social media message, Aubgaue said that he started in a team that was an “extension” of the real estate equity business, and ended up being global real assets credit platform.

The Canadian pension system’s various stewards are very well paid. Leaving them might be an odd choice – and especially given that, despite the private credit industry’s mild ongoing crisis, real estate will likely be unaffected.
