Wall Street is set to see the biggest bonus increases since the Great Recession after a busy and profitable 2021, according to a report from pay consultancy Johnson Associates.<\/p>

Booming deal activity, a hot IPO market and climbing equities mean bankers and traders are in line for outsized performance-based compensation, the report released Tuesday said.<\/p>

But the sharp rebound in business activity this year has translated to <\/span>unprecedented workloads<\/a>\u00a0for Wall Street professionals \u2014 and a\u00a0<\/span>competitive job market<\/a> as companies prepare to shell out a premium to retain top talent and nab new hires.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Firms are \u201cvery concerned about turnover, even though pay is going to be up significantly,\u201d Johnson Associates managing director Alan Johnson told CNBC.<\/span><\/div><\/div>

Johnson Associates used public data from banks and asset management firms, along with proprietary insights from clients, to calculate the projected year-end incentives on a head-count-adjusted basis. Some investment banks, including\u00a0Goldman Sachs<\/a>, disclose how much management has set aside for employee compensation in quarterly earnings reports.<\/p>

Overall bonuses for investment banking underwriters are forecast to jump 30% to 35% from the year prior. For investment banking advisors and equities traders, that year-over-year rise is estimated at 20% to 25%. Johnson Associates also predicts bonuses for private equity, asset management and hedge fund roles will see double-digit increases.<\/p>

This year\u2019s expected increases are the largest since 2009, when several business areas were projected to receive bonuses that were 30% to 60% higher than the previous year, according to Johnson Associates.<\/p>

The estimated record bonuses, which include cash and equity awards, come after a\u00a0Covid pandemic<\/a>-ridden 2020 saw activity slow and year-end incentives decline for many bankers, although traders benefited from strong trading volumes fueled by the Federal Reserve\u2019s steps to calm markets.<\/p>

In contrast, \u201cthe business results this year have been outstanding,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>

Business activity is expected to remain strong and keep incentives elevated next year, though growth will likely slow, according to Johnson.<\/p>

\u201cI don\u2019t think [bonuses] are going to go up as much next year. \u2026 I think this was a spurt,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the view is \u201922 will be a really good year.\u201d<\/p>

Not only are bonuses on the rise, but base salaries are set to climb, too. While Wall Street has long preferred to compensate its workers with performance-based year-end bonuses, the competitive labor market landscape and inflation are pushing base pay higher.<\/p>

After heightened attention on junior banker culture this year,\u00a0firms across the Street hiked pay floors<\/a>\u00a0with Goldman Sachs raising salaries for their entry-level investment banking roles from $85,000 to $110,000.<\/p>

Base salaries across the financial services industry could rise well more than 3%, and even upward of 7%, according to Johnson.<\/p>

\u201cBase salaries are more important than ever,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
