Senior investment professionals at hedge funds are projected to take a hit to their pay of more 10 per cent this year as the industry struggles through one of its worst periods since the financial crisis. Average pay for senior analysts — generally the top investment-side role below portfolio manager — will fall from $651,500 in 2017 to $589,000 this year, according to CompIQ, a compensation advisory firm.
