HF cash comp holdback/vesting

Posted this on the DK thread but want to open it up. Curious what people have seen for cash comp vesting periods/holdbacks? Or you get 100% of your current year cash bonus comp on bonus day? Looking specifically for some of the bigger guys like DK.

Depends on both the fund and the seniority (which I’ve found to impact the math more). 

juniors: almost always 100% cash, up until you get to mid/high 6 figures 

mid career: about 60-70% cash, the rest some form of fund investment or deferral 

senior: I’ve seen anywhere from 15-50% cash the rest deferred/equity/etc (more for partners, depends how you value that).
