Does anybody have more insight into how Centerview's partnership model and private status translates into compensation? For example, say a partner brings in a $25m fee. I imagine a piece of this goes to the broader partnership pool and part goes to general firm BS equity, but what piece of that goes to the partner who brought the deal in? Curious how the translation works as well on deals where the fee is closer to $100mm for example

Senior bankers are top notch, good dealflow, and stellar comp. I don't know specifics on the comp, but they generally divert most of the funds back to the partners. They have a lot less red tape from the executives where they don't have to divert more funds towards the establishment. I'd say a $100mm deal would get more comp at Centerview than market standard tbh.
Thanks for saying nothing with so many words.
U should go be a consultant. Said so much yet so little. ChatGPT could've done better.
To clarify, i am wondering how much the MD/Partner who sources the deal would actually get from the fee vs. how much would go to the rest of the firm / profit sharing etc.
At most boutiques, $100mm fees means 20 to 30% goes to the partner pool; the rest goes to the house. There are exceptions, usually negotiated, commonly a waterfall. First $100mm fees standard split, next 50mm fees an additional 5% of the portion that goes to the house goes directly to the partner who sourced it. Another common negotiated terms being that a new partner gets to keep 30-50% of the fees on the first deal that s/he brings in. There are a myriad of ways to set this up.
