Equilar-New York Times Private Equity Compensation Study

December 11, 2016

Equilar and the New York Times have partnered on a joint study to determine compensation and other take-home pay for executives at the largest publicly traded private equity firms. The New York Times analysis also compared these individuals to CEOs at the largest banks and CEOs of some of the most prominent technology firms as a benchmark.

The data below shows the summary statistics featured in the December 11 edition of the New York Times. For full details on the joint study with Equilar, please visit the New York Times website.

According to the Times feature, “the joint study captured the full picture of what the executives made based on their affiliation with their firms, including dividends on the stock they own and some extra benefits specific to private equity… Many of the earnings are not traditional compensation, but it’s money in their pockets nonetheless.”

For a deeper look at the impact of private equity on the U.S. corporate infrastructure, please visit the New York Times feature series.
