Guggenheim Investments Comp?

Is Gugg comp trajectory the same in its investment management (Guggenheim Partners Investment Management) arm and investment bank? I believe An1 base in IB is 110k, is is the same for IM as well? Have heard though the grapevine that IM base is lower but don't know for sure

Ah, the jungle drums are beating with questions about Guggenheim's compensation! Based on the most helpful WSO content, I can share that the total average compensation for various positions in Guggenheim's investment banking division as of September 2023 is as follows:

  • Investment Banking Director/MD: $592k
  • Vice President: $392k
  • Associates: $260k
  • 3rd+ Year Analyst: $187k
  • 2nd Year Analyst: $169k
  • 1st Year Analyst: $168k
  • Intern/Summer Associate: $167k
  • Intern/Summer Analyst: $94k

As for the base salary for Analyst 1 in investment banking, it's indeed mentioned as $110k. However, when it comes to the investment management (IM) arm, the context doesn't provide specific figures for their compensation. It's not uncommon for investment management roles to have different compensation structures compared to investment banking, often with a lower base but potentially higher bonuses depending on the fund's performance.

If you're swinging from vine to vine looking for the exact numbers in IM, you might want to check out the latest threads on WSO or reach out directly to someone in the know at Guggenheim Partners Investment Management. They'd be the gorillas in the room who can give you the most accurate bananas—I mean numbers!

No – GPIM analyst/associate comp is less than that of IBD. An1 can expect 90k base with bump to 100k midway through first year, with small bonus. Comp can scale quickly though; senior associates / VPs can earn anywhere between 350-450k TC working ~65 hours per week.
