More of these internal capital markets roles seem to have been popping up lately. Does anyone have color on what comp looks like for associate/vp levels? How do these groups compare to the debt origination/equity investment teams within their respective organizations?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, compensation structures in corporate finance roles, including internal capital markets, can vary widely depending on the company, industry, and region. However, I can provide some general insights into compensation at the associate and VP levels, which might be somewhat analogous to roles in capital markets:
Associate Level: Typically, at this level, compensation would include a base salary along with a performance-based bonus. The bonus could be influenced by both the firm's performance and the individual's contributions. Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) may also be part of the compensation package, although this can vary by company.
VP Level: At the VP level, the compensation structure tends to become more complex and variable. It can include a higher base salary and a larger bonus component, which is significantly influenced by individual and company performance. Long-term incentives such as stock options or RSUs are more common at this level.
Comparing internal capital markets roles to debt origination or equity investment teams:
Internal Capital Markets: These roles often focus on managing the firm's own capital and may involve activities like funding, liquidity management, and balance sheet optimization. Compensation might be slightly more stable since these roles are internally focused and may not be directly generating revenue.
Debt Origination/Equity Investment Teams: These roles are typically front-office positions that are directly involved in revenue generation through the structuring and selling of debt or equity products. As such, they might offer higher potential bonuses linked to the deals and transactions completed.
It's important to note that these are general trends and actual compensation can differ based on a multitude of factors. For more specific information, it would be beneficial to look at compensation reports or surveys that provide data on capital markets roles.
