Here’s how much hedge fund managers are paid in Hong Kong

Hedge funds have a reputation for paying huge sums, particularly in locations like London and New York, but what about in the Asian hub for the industry, Hong Kong?

Hong Kong portfolio managers earn base salaries of HK$640k to $HK3m (US$82k to US$385k), depending on seniority, according to pay data we’ve averaged out from recruitment-agency salary surveys and presented in the table below.

But these salaries are still smaller than those paid by hedge funds in the West, and they also lag those in Hong Kong investment banks, says Laikee Tang, a partner at LT Advisers in Hong Kong.

Portfolio manager bonuses, which typically compromise the bulk of their compensation, are more difficult to define in Hong Kong.
