Fund Management 2025/26 Compensation Report.

The 2025/26 hiring landscape across the fund management sector has entered a period of measured stability. Rather than focusing on expansion alone, firms are prioritising capability - strengthening the blend of people, process and technology that underpins long-term resilience.

Our latest Compensation Report brings this shift into clear view, drawing on insight across finance, operations, compliance, legal and business support functions.

The data shows that fund growth remains steady, with non-investment teams expanding to meet rising regulatory expectations and deeper due diligence. Compensation has stabilised in parts of the market, yet pressure persists where specialist skills are scarce and junior talent remains limited. Cultural fit and cross-functional communication now sit at the centre of hiring decisions, reflecting a more institutional and selective market.

The full report offers a practical, data-driven view of where the market stands and what firms should expect heading into 2026.
