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.
This whitepaper furnishes a strategic management tool that transcends mere compensation data, providing market intelligence and insights conducive to effective talent management.
In-depth interviews and surveys were conducted with a dozen alternative managers between October and November 2016.
The report delves into macro business themes impacting fee revenue, bonus pools, and sales activity, along with exploring recruiting and retention trends and challenges. Additionally, it scrutinizes the influence of the evolving regulatory landscape on compensation structures and levels, while also delving into compensation plan design, including team structure and key performance indicators.
