What's London LO comp like?
I might be making the move to London from another commonwealth country.
What's the comp like for a LO analyst?
I have 5 years experience (in my sixth year now) as a global equity analyst. I have my own coverage and make recommendations etc while also supporting the PM with their research.
I come from an absolutely unknown shop with 2 people managing a GBP 200million mandate.
Anybody able to give me any rough range (or ideally any hard data points) for LO London comp?
Thanks
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights into London long-only (LO) compensation for an experienced analyst:
General Compensation Data Points:
Specific Data Points for LO Analysts:
Additional Considerations:
While these data points provide a rough range, actual compensation can vary based on the specific firm, role, and market conditions. For a more precise figure, networking with professionals in the London market or consulting with a recruitment agency specializing in finance roles might be beneficial.

Any takers?

It’s not as impressive as the US unfortunately, I think base is around 120k after 5 YOE and bonus probably 50% of base if you’re at a top shop

Can you confirm what is right?
This is probably more 3 YoE

Extremely variable. The top US LOs can be very attractive at the 'Analyst' level (i.e. experienced investors who have sleeves / contribute to the analyst fund) - just go onto companies house and do the maths on UK subsidiary accounts for MFS / Wellington / TRP etc. Caveat this is for 'Analyst' seats - the Research Associate programmes are a lot less competitive (expect a discount on comp in exchange for 'learning experience').
A subscale / mid-sized UK asset manager is going to be a lot less attractive unless you are working on a v high performing fund.
What’s the salary growth a research associate can expect at a T1 LO in London? First year at 80k£ + 40%
