Survey Sets Benchmarks for Private Equity Compensation

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2011

For the fifth year, the Private Equity Compensation Survey is being conducted to gather benchmarks in venture capital and private equity compensation practices.


The Private Equity Compensation Survey collects data directly from those in the private equity industry and creates a much needed reliable and affordable benchmarking tool for both individuals and for firms looking to set compensation policies.


The online survey makes it easy for investment professionals to directly provide valuable insights into compensation. Time is running out to participate in the survey and eligible participants who complete the survey will receive the final 2012 Private Equity Compensation Report (a $ 347 value) free of charge.


"Last year we saw double digit increases in private equity compensation levels." says David Kochanek, publisher of the Private Equity Compensation Report. "This is our 5 year anniversary of this effort. It is our goal each year to create a reliable and affordable private equity compensation benchmark."


The survey goes further than just cash compensation. It covers carried interest (carry), work culture, bonuses, fund performance and job satisfaction.


Industry insiders can participate in the survey at PECompSurvey.com and, by doing so, secure access to the Private Equity Compensation Report free of charge when the results are published.
