Can pension funds succeed in attracting top investment talent?

Item published August 25, 2010

Richard Parkhouse was recently quoted in an article discussing pension funds in relation to recruitment.

"Historically, pension funds simply haven't paid enough to attract top professionals, and any that do move and go for reasons other than money," says Richard Parkhouse, chief executive of asset management remuneration specialists, PRPi Consulting.  "On the other hand, compensation within asset management houses has been going down, and continues to do so, so this may present an opportunity to the pension funds."

'Concern grows over large pay packets'

Item published July 31, 2006

Financial Times Fund Management supplement (FTfm)

PRPi’s Richard Parkhouse and some of our research data was featured in this article. “The industry is all about performance now. This is great for the investor but companies need to think more about how it will work for them. It is not really necessary to share performance fees with most investment professionals. Only a small proportion, perhaps just 5 per cent, truly generate alpha”

“Hedge funds are slowing down in profitability and therefore attractiveness to key talent. Abnormal profits are a thing of the past. The trouble is the generous deals already struck may be difficult to undo. Many firms will be reluctant to unwind them for fear of losing people.”

The City's Performance Management Challenge

Item published January 01, 2004

City HR Directory 2004

The challenges facing HR professionals in today’s global financial and professional services markets do not get any easier. The bear market of the last few years, the longest since the 1930s, has kept HR professionals very busy with cost reduction programmes, tight budgets and, normally, fewer HR staff members.

Margins have been under severe pressure and competition is getting more and more intense. Against this backdrop there is a desperate need for all firms to keep ‘raising the bar’ on employee productivity.
