According to a new report, the family offices are increasing their fight for talent, making new incentive plans for top officials, which are promoting salary.
According to a report by Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management and Botoff Consulting, most of the family offices are now using long -term incentive compensation schemes, which increase the total salary based on performance and investment returns. According to the report, about two-thirds of investment-centered family offices are using long-term incentive compensation.
While family offices have often given special demonstration bonuses to officers, the awards are becoming more structured, clear and generous.
“Over time, we are looking at the increased formalities of compensation plans,” said Valerie Wong Fountain, Managing Director of Family Office Resources and Participation Management at Morgan Stanley. “If you go back for many years, you must have seen more handshake agreements. Now it is more structured and measured against performance.”
According to the report, in investment-centered family offices-which are like in-house financial firms, the average total compensation for the CEO with more specific, high-paying teams is $ 825,000 per year. Large investment-centered family offices, with more than $ 1 billion in property, are paying more than $ 1.2 million. According to the report, the salary growing on top of investment-centric firms has increased the average salary for CEOs of $ 1 billion-plus to more than $ 3 million.
Chief Investment Officer or CIOs are also benefiting. Median salary for investment-centered Cio is now $ 900,000, average $ 1.8 million.
Incentive plans are also changing. Co-investment is becoming particularly popular, allowing authorities to invest in deals with family. Since rich families often achieve special access to FAS-growing companies and reputed deals, the opportunity to invest with the family is an additional bonus. While some officials can take loans from the family to make their co-investment, the report states that most co-investment (85%) were funded by the participants.
Wong Fountain said, “This is a powerful way of cooking its own.”
Other general incentive schemes include interest paid, where the executive gets a share of investment benefits beyond a benchmark, as well as the plan for Phantom Equity, Profit sharing and encouragement is postponed.
Tish Botoff, the managing principal of Botoff Consulting, said, “In a ever-intelligent market for talent, the family is focusing on attracting highly efficient and more specific professionals to execute their vision, mission and strategy.”
