Wall Street bonuses to rise this year as deals return, says report Bonuses are poised to recover on Wall Street this year, fueled by strong equity market gains and recovery in investment banking, according to financial services compensation firm Johnson Associates, Inc. Investment bankers helping companies issue debt are expected to have the highest raises in bonuses this year, from 15% to 25%, as companies sell record volumes of debt. As initial public offerings come back, bonuses for equity underwriters are expected to rise 10% to 20% this year. "We are seeing almost all segments on Wall Street raising compensation", said the firm's founder Alan Johnson. "This should be a good year, although there are risks stemming from elections in the U.S. and global conflicts". Although improving, incentives in investment banking are still far from their peak in 2021. The only segment where pay is above the 2021 level is private equity, but the workforce at these companies is considerably smaller than in banks, Johnson said. Higher trading volumes are expected to increase bonuses for bond traders between 10% and 20%, and 5% to 15% higher for equity traders. Executives working at wealth management will probably have 5% to 10% higher compensation, whereas asset management and hedge fund employees are expected to receive 5% higher bonuses. In asset management, although clients have been migrating from higher fee products to passive investment products with lower fees, the rise in stocks in 2024 has increased the volume of assets and profitability in the business. #wallstreet #bonus #newyork

In what was supposed to be the “year of fixed income,” 2023 proved to be an OK year, but not a generational one. As we shift gears into 2024, spreads are tight, rates are low, and the market is pricing in a whopping six interest rate cuts before year-end. In our latest fixed income insight written by Michael Contopoulos, we examine the state of the fixed income markets for 2024 and how we're positioned for a year that will likely play out differently than investors currently expect.

Civian Financial, Associate Partner Practice at St James's Place ׀ Helping clients to realise their life goals, through one-to-one financial advice and planning
In the last six months, I've had a few conversations with people about the interest rate you can get currently on savings and how fantastic that is (currently around 5%, conditions may apply). With the follow-up question being, "why someone would invest in equities during this period?". I'll answer that with some data; FTSE 100 Year to Date increase is circa 7% S&P 500 Year to Date increase is circa 14% Clearly I have been selective in choosing these two markets (although arguably a lot of UK residents will be heavily exposed to these two indices if there are invested in the market and not in cash), there is a lot more data and other factors to consider etc., but it gives an indication of how holding cash in high-interest savings accounts isn't as simple as it seems, from a performance perspective. It's also another reason why expert financial advice should taken, even if you view your circumstances as relatively straightforward. Remember; the value of an investment may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested. #MoneyMatters #FinancialWellbeing #WealthManagement #InvestmentPlanning

📈 The March Effect: Unveiling the Market Trends In the intricate dance of market fluctuations, the month of March emerges as a distinctive player, often showcasing a propensity for weakened performances. Over the past 23 years, statistical analysis reveals a noteworthy trend, with negative returns manifesting in March 56 percent of the time—marking it as the month with the highest incidence of adverse market movements. 🔍 Understanding the March Phenomenon: Three Key Factors Cash is King: Corporates and significant market players strategically navigate the year-end financial landscape by minimizing exposure to riskier assets, such as equities, on their balance sheets. This leads to a trend of liquidating positions in equities, showcasing profits in year-end balance sheets, and subsequently establishing new positions in the upcoming financial year. Ashish Goel, Managing Partner and CEO of Investsavvy PMS, sheds light on this practice, stating that companies opt for this strategic move to bolster their cash position. Advance Tax Deadline: The looming deadline of March 15 for the payment of 100 percent of advance tax adds another layer to the March market dynamics. While tax payments are now distributed throughout the year, both individuals and corporates often find themselves settling any remaining amounts during the final quarter. This urgency may trigger the selling of stocks or mutual funds to generate necessary cash reserves. Profit/Loss Booking Strategy: Investors sitting on substantial realized gains may opt to book long-term losses in their portfolio to offset them against capital gains, thus lowering their overall tax liability. Conversely, those who have incurred losses may seize the opportunity to book profits on long-term holdings, planning to re-enter positions at the onset of the next fiscal year, thereby minimizing price risk. 🚨 Regulatory Factors Adding to the Mix: While the March effect undoubtedly influences market trends, regulatory actions by SEBI and RBI are concurrently shaping investor sentiments. SEBI's advisory to mutual funds, issued through AMFI, emphasizes the need for protective policies due to building froth in small and midcap stocks. This includes measures like portfolio rebalancing and moderating flows into smaller funds. Furthermore, on March 5, RBI took a stringent stance by barring JM Financial from providing loans against debentures and shares, including loans against IPO shares. As market participants navigate the complexities of March, the interplay of strategic financial maneuvers and regulatory interventions underscores the multifaceted nature of market dynamics during this crucial period. Investors are advised to stay vigilant, considering both historical trends and contemporary regulatory influences to make informed decisions in this intricate financial landscape.
