Our fifth annual survey of carried interest and compensation for private equity funds was a huge success. We had 272 funds participate in this year’s survey, the most ever. The survey results total 38 pages of graphs and data. In addition to giving the breakdown of carry allocation among the different partner/employee groups within a fund by fund size, the survey also shows salary, bonus and carry compensation by fund size among 11 different partner/employee classes. This year, for the first time, we also provide 3 year averages for compensation for all of the partner/employee classes.
SUPPORT THE DIGEST!
When I launched Private Equity Professional Digest back in 2007 one of my publishing friends asked me what other companies were already competing in the private equity space. I told him that Thomson Reuters and Dow Jones were already there. I remember well his words of encouragement –
“They’ll squash you like a digital bug.”
Well four years later Private Equity Professional Digest is still here and doing quite well. We may be only four people up against the thousands at Thomson Reuters and Dow Jones, but we are a highly motivated crew.
It’s a classic David vs. Goliath and just like David we’re battling the giant Goliath through wits and hard work. Now I need to ask a favor.
