How much do long only buy side equity research analysts earn? [at major asset management firms]?
Just as the title states!
I'm looking at trying to get a job at long only major AM firms like Wellington, Threadneedle, RS Investments, Putnam in Boston, SF, London etc.
Would 250-300k all in be about right for the comp level to start at a firm like that, as a junior research analyst [not an associate]? If it helps I have a top 10 MBA and 2 yrs of work experience in the industry.
You'd probably be closer to 200k if you only had two years of experience. I would say 200-250k is normal for a first year post MBA analyst at one of the big shops.
This is spot on for shops like Fidelity. You can get on the higher end depending on your bonus (how good your picks did).
I can't speak for analysts with little experience, but the guys I know with 10+yrs are making 300 to 500
If anything, I believe that would be low. I knew a non-partner analyst at my old, long-only firm that made a million and he had just a little over 10 years of investment experience. I'm sure there are people in the hedge fund world making many multiples of this.
Hey buyside2015,
I am currently working for a AM firm with sovereign debt funds. I'm considering a top MBA (top choices Columbia&LBS, secondly Booth or NYU) in order to switch to Equity/credit in a top AM firm. However, many people have told me MBA is not good for AM. Could you tell me about your experience, taking into account that you did a MBA being already in the industry?
thanks in advance
Jesus. If 250k-300k is what other post MBA grads are making on the buy-side, I need to change companies asap. What kind of AUM are we talking? And how many hours a week are you working in these firms?
250-300k sounds high to me, though not out of the realm of possibility. I think 200-250k at any shop with >$50bn equity AuM would be normal. Hours worked obviously varies a lot but ~60 per week would be the norm.
I know of a pension fund role in TX, non-MBA that pays ~200k all in. 60 hrs a weekish.
