Taking some heat away from bankers, fund managers have recently received much heat over their executive pay. With The Institute of Business Ethics suggesting the implementation of a clearer pay award scheme, we’ve decided to look at the current pay landscape for the sector.
[drizzle]Emolument.com has analysed 2,214 entries globally to provide an overview of fund manager pay across locations and company types. At the same level of seniority, hedge fund employees earn more compared to the ones in traditional asset management firms. In particular, hedge fund directors are paid much larger bonuses than their asset management peers (50% of total compensation versus 35% for asset management). Fund & portfolio managers’ pay in the EU rivals the US.

Hedge fund salary – EU versus US
Both US hedge funds and asset managers are aggressive payers when it comes to junior and middle managers with 50% larger packages than in the UK, up to director level. Beyond that point, earnings level out.
Alice Leguay, Co-Founder & COO at Emolument.com said: ‘With the intensification of the regulatory environment, to many, hedge funds are perceived as a heaven with less stringent risk management processes than banks or asset management firms and where a regular adrenaline rush is still part of daily working life. The attraction also lies in the possibility of earning very large bonuses at hedge funds early on compared to a constrained earning trajectory following a tiresome hierarchical process in many of the larger and more regulated institutions. Better pay and more fun. What’s not to like?’
