Local PE salaries finally at par with Hong Kong as pay inches up

China and Australia boast the fattest paychecks.

Private equity professionals in Singapore enjoyed higher pay in 2015, according to the Asia Pacific Private Equity Compensation Survey by Heidrick & Struggles.

"Regional hubs Hong Kong and Singapore reported similar compensation levels. This is a shift from our previous surveys, where professionals in Singapore reported lower compensation than those in Hong Kong," the report said.

Of all respondents, those based in mainland China reported the highest total compensation compared to their peers elsewhere in the region, followed by Australia.

“In our own recruitment work, we have found that professionals with a strong track record of investing in China can command higher salaries than those elsewhere in the region,” said the report.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
