Based on the highest ranked content on WSO, the compensation structure for loan originators in privately held debt funds, particularly at the Associate Director, Director, and VP levels, includes a base salary and may also involve a percentage of fees and promote. Specifically, in the context of a startup debt fund in the Upper Midwest, fees are mentioned to be in the range of 1% to 1.50% of the loan amount, with average loan sizes between $2MM to $4MM. This suggests that the compensation is not solely commission-based but includes a base salary component as well. The exact figures for base salary and the percentage of fees or promote part of the compensation were not detailed in the provided context, indicating a need for further specifics to fully answer your query on the exact earnings of an originator in private credit.
