Compensation plans can be quite diverse, particularly among alternative asset management firms that are often more likely than traditional asset management organizations to march to the beat of their own drummers. While approaches to remuneration may vary substantially from firm to firm, there can also be considerable commonality when it comes to describing changes and challenges in the business environment.
