Does anyone know how the bonus structure works for those on Investment Solutions' teams?I know that banker analysts have the bonus structure of revenues or inflows being responsible for X amount of their bonus, but for someone on the Investment Solutions' team, what % of their salary is usually given as a bonus?

bonuses are not great. but its a steady and less risky path since you're not judged on bringing in flows.
analyst 1 - 2 bonus was so bad this year, looking at less than 10k - 15k. don't know how to increase that unless you are top bucket which then again is difficult to differentiate.
i do know it! can you pm me? edit; also, do you know how much the associate base is?
also, do you know your group placement yet? or still tbd?

associate base is 125 - 175 ish. associate years are longer now that they cut the analyst years to two years instead of three,
To add to this thread: 2nd year analyst in PB Solutions. Bonus was disappointing IMO, sub $25k on a $105 base. Base to move up to $110…
Adding to this - Solutions bonuses are a black box. You never get a range of what it could be, which makes it extremely difficult to assess yourself against peers, etc.
Do you mind sharing what you received in the past? I got the standard 8.5k for stub bonus a1
Yes that’s the same for me. $8.5 on a $100k base and then went up to $105.
It was 8.5k last year too, unfortunately. Wish you guys got more this year!
2025 numbers (edited so it's clearer):
Started analyst 1 with 100k in summer 2022
Beginning 2023 -> base bumped to 105k. 8.5k bonus.
Beginning 2024 -> base bumped to 110k. 25k bonus.
Mid 2024: promotion to assoc, base bumped to 135k.
Beginning 2025 -> base bumped to 150k. 35k bonus.
Any other numbers?
This is NYC? And PB solutions is where the OCIO team sits?
numbers are pretty mid / bad if NYC…
yes and yes
You got promoted to Associate in mid-year 2024. Did you get bonus payment also along with hiked salary in Mid-year 2024? Now again salary is hiked in Jan 2025 for you. Did you receive bonus once again in Jan 2025?
Edited for clarity, lmk if any other qns!
