Sharing in the Upside - Carry

We found that for those in private equity careers, 54 percent receive some level of carry. But a high level of carry is more limited than in the hedge fund industry. Not surprisingly, most people at the 21 percent plus level are Partners or Managing Directors.

Interestingly, carry participation for CFO’s is only about half, despite CFO as a title being the most highly compensated role on average.
