IB Deferred / Cash Comp Policies

There are many discussions and comparisons of all in comp on this forum but I haven’t seen any that compare deferred and stock comp policies, which I think should be a key factor (even more important than the all in number for analysts and associates who don’t plan to stay long term)

So what’s your:

Bank
At what point does deferred / stock comp begin to apply
What is the % cash vs % stock policy
What is vesting policy

 

Moelis:

Sliding scale increasing bonus % in stock beginning at 250k all in (so applies to associates after stub year)

From 15%-50% marginal % in stock (above like 500k)

4 year vest of stock, cash portion vests immediately

HL:

Cash through associate level (unsure of beyond)

80% vests immediately, 20% vests later that year

PWP:

Formerly all cash and immediately vested, they just went public so unsure how that will change
