Key Findings PART 1. Section I. Introduction/Participant Summary
Between 2015 and 2016, compensation in North American private equity (including venture capital) markets rose sharply for many employees. Salaries and bonuses jumped for both partners and non-partners alike, as evident in Table 1, building on a winning streak that dates back to 2010. Simultaneously, profit distributions also rose from last year to this year. The increase in compensation for junior professionals was especially pronounced this year, while senior professionals saw a jump that was fairly comparable to that in the last several years. The continued upward trend in compensation largely results from healthy fundraising, deal-making and exit markets.
Table 1: Changes in Median Compensation, 2007-2016 Fund-raising, a crucial component in determining compensation, has been growing or holding reasonably steady for both U.S. buyout funds and venture capital funds. Venture fund-raising, in particular, is set to post impressive year-on-year growth in 2016, as shown in Table 2.
Although limited partners have been pushing for lower management fees, by and large buyout firms still charge between 1.5 percent and 2 percent of commi?ed capital during their investment periods, while venture firms charge between 2 percent and 2.5 percent. As firms raise more money, they bring in greater management fees. And the greater the management fees, the more money they have available to pay their employees in salaries and bonuses.
The 2016-2017 Holt-MM&K-Buyouts Insider Private Equity and Venture Capital Compensation Report (North American edition) reflects the combined efforts of two compensation consultancies – Florida-based Holt Private Equity Consultants and London-based MM&K – and New York-based publisher Buyouts Insider. The report is based on an extensive, two-part survey of private-equity firms conducted in the spring and early summer of 2016.
All told, 108 organizations participated in the survey. They provided information on 4,113 workers, employed in some 30 different positions, from analyst to managing general partner on the investment side of firms, from receptionist to chief operating officer on the administrative side. The survey questionnaire consisted of two parts. The first gathered data on firm-wide recruiting and compensation practices, such as the structure of carried interest and co-investment programs; the second gathered data on the compensation packages of individual employees.
The report itself is divided into seven sections. The first three after the participant summary cover firm-wide compensation practices for 20 groups of firms organized by investment strategy, assets under management, and whether affiliated with a sponsor company (such as an investment bank). Sections V-VII cover employee compensation, by job title, for some 24 groups of firms, similarly organized by investment strategy, assets under management, and any sponsor affiliation. For more detailed descriptions of the samples see the Scope and Methodology section of this executive summary on p. 8.

Key Findings Sources of Revenue
Private-equity firms charge their investors, as a management fee, anywhere from 1.5 percent to 2.5 percent of commi?ed capital annually during the investment periods of their funds. Those with smaller funds tend to charge higher percentages, although on an absolute basis they bring in less revenue. After the investment period ends, the management fee typically steps down to reflect the reduced workload needed to manage a portfolio that has entered harvest mode, as well as the fact that a firm is often collecting full fees on successor partnerships. In addition to management fees, buyout firms also generate income through deal fees, consulting fees and related fees, although these fees have come under pressure as well. Specifically, limited partners have been pressing to keep a higher percentage of these fees, to the point where many firms share 80 percent or 100 percent with investors by offse?ing the management fee. According to our survey, the median for management fees, as a percentage of all active funds, is 0.4 percent across all firms in our study – see Table 4 below. For LBO/Growth Equity firms the median is 0.7 percent while for Venture Capital firms in our study the median is 0.9 percent.
Our survey shows that the median private-equity firm devotes 65 percent of its total GP fees/revenues to payroll – see Table 3 below. The figure is 56 percent for LBO/Growth Equity firms and 72 percent for Venture Capital firms.

Key Findings Sources of Revenue (Continued)
We know that employee count does not increase in straight-line tandem with assets under management. Private-equity firms that raise larger pools tend to underwrite larger deals, which don’t necessarily require more resources to transact. In light of this, we would expect salaries and bonuses paid to private-equity employees at individual firms to be highly correlated with assets under management. And so they are. The more money a firm manages, the more money it tends to pay per employee in salary and bonuses. This correlation has been borne out by this and countless prior industry compensation studies. Just one example from last year’s compensation report: Senior Partners (our 2nd level investment management position) at large buyout firms ($1.5 billion or more in assets under management) in our survey earned a median (50th percentile) of $1,375,000 in salary and bonus in 2015, compared with $675,000 for their counterparts at small buyout firms (less than $500 million)
Table 5: Hurdle Rates to Determine Carried Interest (Details are in full report)
In fact, buyout firms in our survey tend to pay more in salary and bonus than do venture firms in part because they often manage larger funds. In addition, many buyout professionals hail from the high-paying field of investment banking, and buyout firms competeto some extent with Wall Street for talent. Venture capitalists tend to have operational backgrounds in the less remunerative fields of technology, health care, and consulting.Salaries and bonuses comprise two legs of the compensation stool. The third, and most important to investment professionals, are carried interest distributions. These get paid out of carried interest realized gains, or the 20 percent of investment profits that private-equity firms are typically entitled to keep (usually after meeting a hurdle rate of return). The previous few years have seen a rise in M&A and IPO activity, which in turn has led to a rise in exits for both buyout and venture capital funds. This increase is reflected in higher carried interest distributions across much of our survey samples.About 80 percent of LBO/Growth Equity firms have a hurdle rate to surpass before any carried interest distributions, while more than a third of Venture Capital firms must also meet a hurdle. For LBO/Growth Equity firms that are dependent upon hurdle rates, the majority must meet a “preferred return” that typically is 8 percent (followed by a “catch-up”)– see Table 5 at right. Needless to say, the private equity markets are not monolithic. Next we take a look atindustry trends that play into compensation payouts in two of the largest market sub-sectors, LBO/Growth Equity and Venture Capital.

Key Findings 2015-2016 Compensation Trends: Independent LBO/Growth Equity
Deal-making in the U.S. buyout market peaked in 2006-2007 before drastically falling and remaining at depressed levels in 2008 and 2009 while recently there has been a recovery and exits have followed a similar track. The recovery in exits has led to a rise in carry distributions for LBO/Growth Equity associates, senior associates and partners in 2016 (see Table 6 below).LBO/Growth Equity fundraising has lagged deal-making, as it almost always does, peaking in 2007 and 2008, before falling off in 2009 and 2010—see Table 2. This year (2016) we should witness U.S. buyout firms equal or surpass the amount raised in recent years, while remaining short of the amount raised in 2008.As in other private equity markets, salaries and bonuses at LBO/Growth Equity shops tend to rise fastest during times when firms are raising money, rapidly building up their assets under management, and competing aggressively for talent. Indeed, the boom in fundraising that generates management fees, and deal-making that generates deal fees, fueled a rapid rise in salary and bonus compensation for both partner and non-partner investment professionals at LBO/Growth Equity firms from 2015-2016 (see Table 6 below). Our data shows that many senior buyout professionals enjoyed sizeable carry distributions in both 2015 and 2016.Hiring also tends to go hand in hand with fundraising and deal-making, as firms bulk up to help put more money to work in transactions. According to our survey, 47 percent of LBO/Growth Equity firms planned to add non-partner investment professionals to their staffs in 2016, up from 45 percent that actually did in 2015—see Table 7 below. Twenty-one percent of LBO/Growth Equity firms in our sample plan to add partners to their firm this year, indicating that they are allocating more resources to human capital in anticipation of more favorable market conditions. In last year’s report, just 14 percent of LBO/Growth Equity firms anticipated adding partners.

Key Findings 2015-2016 Compensation Trends: Independent Venture Capital
Dynamics in the U.S. venture capital market are somewhat different than in the buyout market. The venture capital market is still recovering from an astonishing boom-and-bust period back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Since then, the industry has been shrinking. Many venture firms that got their start at the tail-end of the boom didn’t survive to raise a subsequent fund, while others scaled back significantly.
Meantime, a number of institutional investors, smarting from losses, pulled out of venture capital or ratcheted back their allocations. Deal-making and fund-raising remain at well below peak levels. Although both have been on the rise over the last few years (Table 2, p. 2), much of the fundraising activity has been concentrated among a handful of brand-name firms. Nevertheless, this has translated to significant increases in salary and bonus for investment professionals at Venture Capital firms in our sample (Table 8 below).
A healthy exit market, both for M&A and IPOs, infused the venture market with new life from 2013 to 2016, raising hopes for an even greater pick-up in fundraising in the months ahead. According to our survey, the turnaround has resulted in a significant uptick in salary, bonus and carry distributions for many professionals in 2016 (Table 8 below). As for staffing, more Venture Capital firms (50 percent) planned to hire investment professionals at the non-partner level in 2016, compared with what they actually did in 2015. Simultaneously, a relatively high 34 percentage of Venture Capital firms planned to add partners this year, a higher percentage than their buyout counterparts (see Table 9). In last year’s report just 19 percent of Venture Capital firms planned to add partners.

Key Findings Human Capital
In 2016, the median commi?ed capital per partner is $147.0 million in our sample of LBO/Growth Equity firms and $138.9 million in our sample of Venture Capital firms for all active funds (see Table 10 below). The comparable figures in last year’s edition of this report were $240.1 million and $140.8 million, respectively. Venture Capital firms report that they have 9.0 portfolio companies per partner (median), nearly twice the 3.4 reported by Buyout/Growth Equity firms in our sample. They have 4.6 portfolio companies per investment professional, much higher than 1.3 for Buyout/Growth Equity firms.

Scope and Methodology PART 2. Sections II - IV: Strategy and Design
PART 2. Sections II - IV are the qualitative or "How" sections of the report. We collected and analyzed data concerning financial and operations information; human capital practices; and the design of compensation plans including salary, bonus/incentive plans, carried interest plans, co-investment plans, general partner commitment and employee benefits. Although this is 2015 information, we believe it can be helpful in planning for 2016.
PART 2. Sections II - IV Firm Classifications:We classify firms by type and by commi?ed capital to all active funds. Altogether we created 20 sample groups to complement our discussion of firm-wide compensation issues (Sections II-IV of report). The smaller samples (ie. Large VC or small/mid-size VC) correspond to your peer groups; the larger samples (ie. All Firms) showcase broader industry trends.

Scope and Methodology PART 3. Section V - VII : Compensation Data Levels Of Compensation: For each sample statistic we typically show average, 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile. Always bear in mind that the average could be influenced by particularly high or low data points in the sample, especially if the sample size is small. Most firms that use compensation surveys set compensation targets between the median and the 75th percentile. Firm-Weighted Data versus Incumbent-Weighted Data: Compensation reports based on employee surveys may show data on either an incumbent-weighted or a firm-weighted basis. Incumbent-weighted samples simply include all employees in the sample, even if a significant percentage of them all work for the same firm; the results may therefore be unduly influenced by one or more firms and won’t be representative of the overall marketplace. We can correct for this potential flaw by calculating the data on a firm-weighted basis. For example, assume there are 10 firms in a survey and nine firms have one incumbent on a position and one firm has 10 incumbents. The firm with 10 incumbents would affect over 50% of the data. However, if we average the 10 incumbents in the one firm and treat them as one, we eliminate this issue. (When we combine all sizes of data, we modify between the employee and firm data by weighting small firm data once; mid-size data twice; and large size data three times.) Mix of Compensation Types: In our employee compensation tables we show salaries; salaries plus bonuses; and carried interest distributions. However, firms in our samples may view the mix of these compensation components in different ways, and give more emphasis to one or the other. Venture firms tend to pay high salaries and low bonuses, while buyout firms, with their roots in investment banking, tend to pay lower salaries and larger bonuses. Most firms see carried interest as the most important compensation component – at least for higher level employees – as it rewards long-term positive performance on behalf of the firm and its investors. In light of this, well-established firms whose partners already have a high net worth may well pay relatively low salaries and/or bonuses. This of course can vary based on the amount of management and other fees that are received as revenues.Carry DistributionsHistorically, we have added carried interest distributions to salary plus bonus. There is a “flaw” in this approach because many firms do not report the distributions. They may consider the data confidential or simply do not wish to take the time to report them. Thus, if ten firms report salary plus bonus, but only five of them report distribution we still have been dividing by ten to obtain salary plus bonus plus distributions. Starting in 2014, we do not add the distributions to salary plus bonus. We show the distributions separately but only for those that reported a distribution. (From our above example, we divide by five rather than ten). Firms can decide for themselves how to use this data.Carried Interest Plan Allocation: Where applicable, we show three carried interest allocations. The first is the percent of the most recent fund allocated to each employee as carried interest, also referred to as carried interest points. Employees typically share the 20 points of carry allocated to the GP, although a portion may be allocated to a parent company, or held in reserve for future hires and promotions. We also show the carried interest “dollars at work” for the most recent fund, which is the carried interest points assigned an employee multiplied by the size of the fund. For example, a partner with 1 point of carry on a $100 million fund has $1 million at work in that fund—in other words, the dollars at work that can result in realized investment gains. We also show the most important feature of carried interest - the dollars at work for all active funds.

Scope and Methodology PART 3. Sections V - VII: Compensation Data PART 3. Sections V – VII are the quantitative or "How Much" sections of the report. We collected and analyzed data for various positions on salaries, bonuses, and carried interest distributions. It also covers carried interest as a percent of the fund and as “dollars at work” from both “most recent fund” and “all active funds.” Although this data was collected in 2016, we believe it is useful for 2017 budgeting purposes.
The table below is an example of the exhibits we provide to summarize data collected on Part 3 of the survey report.

Part I of the survey questionnaire used to generate this report covered financial, operational, human resources and other firm-wide ma?ers, and we cover the results in Sections II - III of the report. Part I also covered the design of salary, bonus, carried interest and co-investment plans, which we cover in Section IV of the report. The tables starting below let you evaluate the size of the firms— commi?ed capital for all active funds and for the most recent fund.
There are 20 type/size of firm samples used in Sections II-IV of this report. The LBO/VC/Mezz category as well as the separate LBO/Growth Equity category and the separate VC category includes both private/stand alone firms and institutional firms. Other categories include Fund of Funds and separate data on all Institutional firms. Finally, due to small sample sizes, we lump together Secondary, Distressed Debt, Real Estate, and Co-Investment firms.

Most of the LBO/Growth Equity/VC survey participants are private/stand alone firms. However, a meaningful sample are Institutional organizations, especially among Mezzanine and Fund of Fund firms. Compensation at Institutional firms has over the years gradually become more and more like at the private firms.
Among Institutional organizations, most of the capital is provided by the parent company.

Financial and Operational Data Fees
Management fees are paid by Limited Partners (LPs) to General Partners (GPs). Typically they are about 1.5% – 2.5% of a fund per year. Larger firms tend to have lower percentages but due to size generate more dollars of fees. The table shows the dollars from all active funds. Fees are somewhat lower after the investment period (typically three to five years) is mostly over.
There also are “Other” fees that are paid by portfolio companies. Examples are transaction fees; monitoring/advisory fees; and dividends. Historically, GPs kept all or most of these fees. Now the majority of these fees goes to the LPs. There is a trend to an 80% LP – 20% GP split (which is in line with the split of realized investment gains from exits of portfolio companies). The next page identifies the current actual splits.

The previous page comments on the split of “Other” fees between GPs and LPs, which shown below is about 35% to GPs and 65% to LPs.
LBO firms typically have “other” fees, whereas Venture Capital firms rarely have “other” fees. Several of the firms did not answer this question.

Financial and Operational Data
Total management fees averaged 1.0% of all active funds in our “all firms” sample, but 4.6% of the most recent fund. Most LPs look to the fees from all active funds. However, it provides a different perspective when other ratios are reviewed. The data shows that fees are being collected on “old” funds and are quite high as a percent of the most recent fund..

Participants in the survey reported that Limited Partners receive 73% of transaction fees; 79% of monitoring fees; and 70% of directors fees.
As stated in an earlier slide, the General Partner/Limited Partner split has changed considerably in recent years. Venture firms do not share as much as LBO firms. However, as stated previously, very few VC firms have “other” fees

Human Capital Number of Employees Per Employee Group
It is obvious that large firms have more employees than small firms. What is less obvious is that VC firms, all other things being equal, normally have more partners than LBO firms, but LBO firms have more non-partner investment professionals than VC firms. This makes sense as VC firms have more portfolio companies (and smaller size portfolio companies) than LBO firms and thus requires more partner time. Conversely, LBO firms have fewer and larger size portfolio companies that require more analysis, more due diligence and more monitoring - which are tasks that can be done below the partner level.

Compensation Strategy Annual Bonus Plans: When are Bonuses Distributed and Who Makes Bonus Decisions
The timing for payment of bonuses varies among firms. 36% pay before financial year-end, 22% during the first month after financial year-end, 38% in 2-4 months. 8% of firms provide a bonus upon exit of a portfolio company, and 6% for a closing.
If bonuses are discretionary, the most common approach to determining bonus amounts is by the managing partners.

Compensation Strategy Carried Interest Plans (CIP): As % of Most Recent Fund and Carried Interest Dollars at Work
The carried interest “percent” is worthy of note, but more important are the “dollars at work” that are derived from the percentage.
For example, assume there are three funds each with $800 million of commi?ed capital. One has carried interest of 25%, one at 20% and one at 15%. The dollars at work would be $200 million (25%); $160 million (20%); and $120 million (15%).
As described above, the “dollars at work” are returned to the LPs, but any realized gains from those dollars are paid/distributed to the GP.
If a modest 10% return is assumed, $200 million yields $20 million of gains; $160 million is $16 million, and $120 million is $12 million – quite a difference.
Traditional Carried Interest Plans for LBO, VC, and Mezzanine firms represent 20% of the commi?ed capital provided by Limited Partners (LPs). LPs ultimately are (or should be) returned 100% of their capital but only receive 80% of any realized gains from exits of portfolio companies. The remaining 20% of realized gains is awarded to the General Partner (GP)/private equity firm. The LPs have allowed 20% of their capital (like an interest free loan) to “carry” the GPs.
Carried interest is not always 20%. Some firms have had a 25% or 30% carried interest plan. Note that the median carried interest is 5% for Fund of Funds organizations.

Compensation Strategy Carried Interest Plans (CIP): Allocation
Partners/Managing Directors are allocated most of the carried interest. Non-partners, which did not receive carried interest until the late 1990’s, are now allocated 16% of the “carry” (15% in LBO firms and 13% in VC firms).
Among Institutional firms, the Parent Company receives 13% of the carry.
By Firm Type
50% of firms allocate carried interest to employees on a purely discretionary basis.
An additional 29% are also discretionary but based on a range determined by grade level. 14% allocate based on a formula, and 5 based on the grade level.

Compensation Strategy Carried Interest Plans (CIP) : Distribution Requirements and Hurdle Rates
79% of firms are required to return all capital (invested or commi?ed) from a fund before employees can receive any carried interest distributions.
A surprising 21% of firms are on a deal by deal basis rather than a fund basis. This is most common among LBO firms at 39%.
However, see next table on hurdle rates
64% of firms (80% LBO, 38% VC) have a hurdle rate to surpass before any carried interest distributions are made.
Among these firms, 77% must meet a “preferred return” that typically is 8% annualized. After the 8% is met, the GP’s receive 100% (most firms) or 80% (a few firms) or 50% (very few firms) of the next tranche (or tier or layer) of realized gains as a “catch-up” until the normal carried interest percent is met.
11% of these firms (45% VC) must meet a Net Asset Value test (typically 120% or 125%) before carried interest distributions are made.

Compensation Strategy Carried Interest Plans (CIP): Vesting
Normally, if there are carried interest distributions, plan participants that remain employed will receive 100% of the amount due.
Vesting of carried interest protects an employee in the event of termination. The terminated employee will receive the percent vested at time of termination.
Vesting accrues on an annual basis in 64% of firms and on a monthly basis in 22% of firms. (VC firms are 52% monthly and only 30% annual).
0% of firms have no vesting and terminated employees will not receive any carried interest distributions.
57% of firms base Partner vesting (52% non-partner) on the time from inception of each new fund (i.e., vesting starts over for each new fund).
27% of firms base vesting on t h e t i m e s i n c e d a t e o f employment and 11% of firms base it on length of service since an employee first was allocated carried interest.

Compensation Strategy Carried Interest Plans (CIP): Vesting (Continued)
Vesting has been taking longer in recent years than in the past.. LBO firms typically vest fully over seven years and VC firms over eight to nine years.
The normal vesting schedule may be accelerated (normally to 50% up to 100%) due to certain events. 38% of firms accelerate for death; 36% for disability; and 24% due to retirement.

Compensation Strategy Carried Interest Plans (CIP): Treatment of Leavers
By Firm Type
Other termination events cause the percent vested to be forfeited. 89% of firms forfeit vesting for termination due to cause and 63% if an employee terminates to join a competitor (these seem about right). However, 49% of firms responded that they forfeit for termination not joining a competitor and 40% for involuntary termination not for cause. These last two makes us question what is the purpose of having a vesting schedule.
The percent of carried interest that is forfeited usually is allocated to other participants (51% of firms) However, with 25% of firms, it is placed in reserve for future allocation, and in 24% of firms it reverts to the management company.

Compensation Strategy General Partner Commitment (GPC)
General Partners are required to put some money “at risk” in order to qualify for long-term capital gain tax treatment. Also, LPs prefer that GPs have “skin in the game” by investing alongside the LPs The most common allocation is 2% of the capital commi?ed to the fund. LBO firms in our survey commit more money than other types of firms.
GPs often contribute pro rata to their share of carried interest. It also is common to negotiate internally among the partners.
The majority of firms make their GP contributions at the time of an LP drawdown (86% VC, 62% LBO). A number of firms contribute on a deal by deal basis (15% LBO; 14% VC).

Compensation Strategy Co-Investment Plans: Participation and General Plan Characteristics
Page 32 shows that 23% of firms (32% LBO, 29% Mezzanine, 19% VC, and 7% Fund of Funds) have a co-investment plan that is in addition to the GP contribution. Shown below are various features of these plans.
For partners and non-partners, contributions are usually voluntary. Most co-investments are pro rata on all deals – although there is some “cherry-picking.”

Compensation Strategy Co-Investment Plans
All Firms
Co-investments almost always are with after tax dollars. Very few firms charge normal management fees or carried interest to employees. 15% of firms with a co-investment plan provide loans, the highest employer contributions often 3:1. Loans normally are recourse. Interest rates on the loans normally are floating (as opposed to fixed) and the typical interest rate is 4.19%.

Compensation Levels – Changes in Median Compensation Year -over-year changes in median compensation for investment manager positions
The economy affects performance and performance affects compensation. Salary plus bonus plus carried interest distributions increased in a good economy 25% from 2007 to 2008. Then in a bad economy from 2008 to 2009 they decreased 5%. Things gradually improved, and there were increases of 24% in the past three years. This includes all investment managers but not administrative/support staff.
If we focus on Partners, they received no salary increases from 2008 to 2009 and 2009 to 2010; only 1% in 2010 to 2011; and 5%- 6% the following years, but 8% from 2014 to 2015 and 9% from 2015 to 2016. When bonus and carried interest distributions are included, the changes (percent) were negative from 2008 to 2009 and 2009 to 2010 but did increase 23% or more the past three years.

Venture Capital
We also include year-to-year changes for certain key positions in LBO and VC firms. This includes salaries from April 1, 2015 to April 1, 2016, and bonuses earned/accrued in 2014 and 2015. As stated in the introduction, we no longer add carried interest distributions to salary and bonus. Rather, we show distributions only for those that received a distribution. VC salaries are typically higher than LBO firms, but when bonuses are added to salaries LBO firms tend to close the gap.

Observations
Page #10 provides definitions for various terms used in this Section V. We will summarize some of this information.
In this section VI of the report, we look at each surveyed position separately by type and size of firm. Then in section VII we will reverse the data, and show all positions within each type and size of firm.
We consider small size firms as having under $500 million of commi?ed capital from all active funds; mid-size firms are $500 to $1.5 billion; and large firms are $15 billion or more.
For each component of compensation, we show an average and a median (50th percentile). We also show a 25th (low) and a 75th (high) percentile. We consider the median as more reliable than the average because the average can include one or two very high or low paying firms that distort the true competitive market-place compensation. Thus, when we comment on each position, we will focus on the median (or 50th percentile).
There are two pages for most positions (unless there is insufficient data). The various components of actual compensation on the first page are: salary; salary plus bonus; and carried interest distributions but only for those that received a distribution. The second page covers carried interest allocations (not distributions) and includes the percent of the most recent fund (often referred to as “points” in the fund) and the dollars at work from both the most recent fund and all active funds. The percent of carried interest typically is lower in large firms for higher level positions while the dollars at work for these positions are larger than in small firms.
For higher level positions, size makes a significant difference in compensation levels. For lower level positions, size can make some difference but less so than with higher levels. Therefore, our commentary will focus on large firms for Partner, Principal and Senior Associate positions and on all firms below the Senior Associate position.

Compensation Levels Per Position (By Type & Size of Firm) Investment Managers -Partner Level Positions
Observations (Continued)
PE 01 - Large VC firms ($3.0 million) usually pay higher salaries than large LBO firms ($1.2 million), but LBO firms ($2.3 million) close the gap (or even surpass VC firms - $3.3 million) when bonuses are added to salaries. Mezzanine is at $1.0 million and Fund of Fund firms also at $1.0 million. Carried interest distributions were $3.5 million at all firms ($6.5 at LBO firms and $2.3 million at VC firms).
Median carried interest is 3.4% (of the fund) in large LBO firms and 4.2% in large VC firms. Dollars at work from all active funds (which we consider the most important component of carried interest because they generate realized gains) are $104.0 million in large LBO firms and $64.3 million in large VC firms. The dollars at work are $29.6 million in large Mezzanine organizations; and $65.4 million in large Fund of Funds.
PE 02 - Salary plus bonus median for the Senior Partner/Senior Managing Director position is $1.3 million in large LBO firms and $1.2 in large VC firms. Large Mezzanine firms are at $506,000 and large Fund of Funds at $750,000. Carried interest distributions were $1.4 million at all firms.
Median carried interest as a percent of the fund is 1.5% for large LBO firms and 1.3% for large VC firms. The dollars at work from all active funds are $51.6 million in large LBO firms and $28.1 million in large VC firms.
PE 03 - Salary plus bonus median for the third level Partner position is $650,000 in large LBO firms and $634,000 in large VC firms. This compares with $650,000 in both large Mezzanine firms and large Fund of Fund firms. Carried interest distributions are $502,000 in all firms.
Carried interest as a percent of the fund is 1.1% for large LBO firms and 0.8% for large VC firms. The dollars at work from all active funds are $12.2 million for all firms.
PM 01 – This position is titled as a Partner but it is not typically an investment manager so we treat it separately. The 50th percentile (median) salary plus bonus for the Venture Partner/Operations Partner level position is $522,600 for all firms. 47% of these employees are allocated carried interest that is 0.4% of the fund and $3.0 million of dollars at work.

In this section, we show all positions in each type of firm. If there is sufficient information, we further break the data for each type of firm by large size ($1.2 billion or more of committed capital), mid-size ($500 million to $1.2 billion) and small size (under $500 million).
We encourage you to focus on the 50th percentile (median) and on salary plus bonus. The average may be influenced by one or two high paying or low paying firms. Also, some firms pay high salaries and low bonuses while other firms pay low salaries and high bonuses. Thus, the combined salary plus bonus is most meaningful.
The most meaningful carried interest figure is the amount (dollars at work) from all active funds. This is the amount that generates realized gains from investments on behalf of participants in the carried interest plan.
At the end of the section are data from firms in Canada, then from firms in Asia Pacific, and finally we show the cost of employee benefits by position.
Please note that with all of these break-outs, we have some small sample sizes, so be careful with the use of some of this data.

Compensation Levels – Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific data was reported by 8 firms.
The average compensation is influenced by a few high and/or low paying firms, so we encourage readers of this report to focus on the median (or 50th percentile).
Most of the firms also have employees in the United States and several are headquartered in the United States.
There was not enough information to allocate the data by type or size of firm. This means some firms reported on one position but not another. The result of course is that this also has an effect on the data from one position to another.
