My understanding is each PM is given a cut of the assets he gets to manage and he decides how to allocate the money, he decides how many analysts he wants and what they get paid, even Analyst Blackberry payments are taken out of his revenue so if the PM is generous you can make a lot, if he isn't generous you won't make a lot.

I have no idea. I will be going to Wharton next year. I just took that info from the Wharton Career Placement book thing.
