Compensation Survey

Welcome to the Claypoole Survey

For the past two decades, Claypoole Search has collected compensation data from Legal and Compliance professionals at alternative managers and reported anonymized results.

This year's survey comprises between 24 and 43 questions and, depending on the path you take, should take no longer than 10 minutes (which will be greatly reduced if you have your most recent compensation data handy). The system will save your information, so unless you receive a promotion or change employers, you will only need to report your compensation in future years' surveys.

The results of this survey are not for sale. They are only available to participants and our clients. By participating in the survey, you will be added to our exclusive list and receive an email granting access to the results when they are released in the fall.

We began collecting data at the request of a small group of New York-based hedge fund GCs who were frustrated by the lack of transparency in their compensation. Managers were building out legal departments for the first time and compensation was "all over the place." Over the years, this study helped make compensation less opaque and establish what is "market."
