Salary and Compensation Rates at Family Offices and RIA's

, , , ,

Have you felt recently you may be underpaid for all the services, hours and support you are bringing to your wealth management company?

Do you feel your pay may not be commensurate with the contributions you are providing to your firm?

Below are some salary and compensation levels for various roles and titles within the family office space.

While these numbers may not be apples-to-apples with different types of RIA’s, you can back into them with your own compensation levels to see if you are in line, underpaid or overpaid*

If your firm isn’t sure what’s the best comp structure for advisory firms or looking to revamp your compensation structure within your wealth management firm, please reach out.

This is an area Select Advisors specializes in.
