Compensation Survey Offerings
The 2023 survey includes 29 Canadian asset managers with reported data for over 400 unique positions across investment and corporate disciplines at 10 levels from CEO to entry level professional. This is the only survey in the market that runs twice per year, and covers target, actual, and theoretical maximum compensation data.
We are currently developing this compensation survey to better capture the size and scope differences between executive roles that meaningfully impact compensation.
This survey captures actual and planned salary budget data from companies across Canada in a variety of industries. The survey is run twice per year (in September and January) and participants receive a free copy of the results.
