MM Economics / Payout

Wants a better understanding of what economics look like at multi-manager Hedge Funds. This is the guidance I have been given, but not sure if this is correct. Feel free to roast me if I am way off.

Senior PM (25-30%)

PM (15-20%)

Sub-PM (7-15%)

Analyst/Senior Analyst (.5-2.0%)

20% is standard for Sr PM. 25-30% is for Sr PMs who have leverage (e.g. rainmakers), probably 10% of risk takers at any given platform. Some platforms will give you a waterfall payout (e.g. 20% on first X%, 23% on next Y%) for all intensive purposes this is just a 20% payout because it's nearly impossible to hit the higher tiers consistently. If you are a new Sr. PM (e.g. making the jump from Analyst) you may be getting 15-20%

PM is a title at Millennium akin to a sub-PM so it's not a separate category. Analysts don't get payouts
