去年,华尔街银行业从业者领到了自2008年金融危机以来最丰厚的奖金,创下历史纪录。今年如何?奖金将缩水。

2021年的繁荣对金融从业者而言是短暂的。一项最新研究认为,有些从业者的年终奖金可能较一年前减少约一半。

薪酬咨询公司Johnson Associates在11月15日发布的一份研究报告称,从事股票和债券承销的银行业从业者的奖金可能比2021年减少40%至45%。

在对冲基金提供并购咨询服务的从业者,奖金同样会缩水,但幅度较小,约减少15%至20%。

就2021年超高的资产估值,Johnson Associates的总经理艾伦·约翰逊对路透社(Reuters)表示:“去年整个行业进入了泡沫。泡沫破灭,目前我们正在经历‘宿醉’阶段。”

有许多原因预示着银行业从业者今年将受到影响。研究报告称,并购交易经过2021年的繁荣之后,2022年开始减速,而融资活动低迷和投资组合公司估值下跌,意味着银行和交易相关金融服务机构的利润下降。

但并非所有金融业岗位的奖金都在下降。在固定收益产品交易和销售领域,从业者2022年的奖金预计将比去年增长15%至20%。

然而,金融行业受到的影响不止在于奖金这一个方面。全世界的公司都饱受通胀的影响,许多公司为了削减成本选择裁员或取消招聘计划,增加了行业的不确定性。随着华尔街交易下滑,美国一些规模最大的银行已经开始裁员,以控制员工人数。

据美国消费者新闻与商业频道(CNBC)报道,高盛集团(Goldman Sachs)在今年9月最先开始裁员,上周,花旗集团(Citigroup)和巴克莱集团(Barclays)也纷纷效仿。据彭博社(Bloomberg)本月早些时候报道,摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)正考虑在亚洲投行部门进行裁员。(财富中文网)

Wall Street bankers collected their biggest bonuses since the 2008 financial crisis last year and set a new record. This year? Not so much.

That 2021 boom was short-lived for finance workers, and they could be looking at year-end bonuses that are almost half of what they were before, according to a new study.

Bankers handling equity and debt underwriting are expected to receive bonuses that are 40% to 45% below 2021 levels, according to a study published on November 15 by Johnson Associates, a compensation consulting company.

Their counterparts at hedge funds that offer advice on mergers and acquisitions will also see their bonuses shrink, but by a bit less—around 15% to 20%.

“The industry was at a bubble level last year,” Alan Johnson, managing director of Johnson Associates, told Reuters about the sky-high asset valuations in 2021. “The bubble burst, and now we’re having a hangover.”

There are a few reasons that bankers are taking a hit this year. Merger-and-acquisition deals slowed down in 2022 following a boom in 2021, while sluggish fundraising activity and a fall in the valuation of portfolio companies meant lower profits for banks and deals-related financial services, according to the study.

Not all finance jobs will lose their usual annual bonuses, though—in fixed-income trading and sales, the bonuses are expected to climb 15% to 20% in 2022 compared with last year.

It’s not just bonuses that are taking the hit when it comes to the financial sector, though. With soaring inflation vexing companies across the world, many of them are laying people off or pulling back on hiring plans as a way to cut costs, adding to uncertainty in the industry. Some of the largest banks in the U.S. have already begun laying off their employees to manage headcount amid Wall Street’s deal slump.

Goldman Sachs was the first to begin laying off employees in September, and last week, Citigroup and Barclays followed suit, CNBC reported. Morgan Stanley is contemplating cutting the headcount of its investment bankers in Asia, Bloomberg reported earlier this month.
