Want to understand compensation benchmarks for roles across hedge funds, specifically for analyst, associate, and principal levels. While I’ve found some surveys, most are behind paywalls. If anyone has access to these reports or can share insights on typical fixed plus variable compensation, it would be extremely helpful. A structured breakdown—min, max, and mean—by location or team would be best.
For context, I’m assessing whether my compensation aligns with industry standards. I’m part of a credit-focused hedge fund expanding into emerging markets, where P&L is smaller per head but the coverage is extensive (we’re reaching about 30-40% of the market). Despite lower per-head P&L, there’s a strong push from partners to build out this business in new regions, and I want to ensure my compensation is competitive in this unique setting.
Any thoughts or comparable data would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
