The Alpha Hedge Fund Compensation Report reveals the truth about hedge fund salaries. Based on the results of questionnaires completed by nearly 900 professionals from more than 600 firms, now you can find an answer to the question, “What are hedge fund professionals really making?” If you work at a hedge fund or fund-of-funds firm, this is your chance to find out whether you’re being shorted; if you work in another industry, our findings may prompt you to consider a career change.

The Alpha report rips through the shroud of secrecy surrounding hedge fund compensation. We found that compensation varies widely within the hedge fund industry and is correlated to several factors, including firm asset size and geographical region. Job function and title also play an important role, but in general we can safely say that when it comes to hedge funds, 2 and 20 equals a hefty salary.
