Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about compensation for management roles in hedge funds:

1. Business Development and Investor Relations Associate:

   • Compensation can vary widely, especially in smaller funds. For example, a hedge fund in Connecticut with approximately 30 employees and $12bn AUM might have a unique compensation structure. Specific figures aren't provided, but discussing compensation directly with the founder is common practice.

2. Head of Equities or Head of Certain Strategies:

   • Hedge Fund Manager (Manager): Has ultimate control over the fund and often starts as the portfolio manager. Compensation is typically very high, often including a significant portion of the fund's profits.
   • Portfolio Manager (PM): Makes decisions on portfolio inclusions and sizing. Compensation is also substantial, often including performance-based bonuses.
   • Sector Head: Manages a specific sector within the fund. Compensation can be high, especially if they also serve as portfolio managers.

3. Bonus Structure:

   • Bonuses in hedge funds are typically discretionary and can form a significant part of the total compensation. They are often tied to the performance of the fund and the individual's contribution to that performance.
