Open-access report, results shared to all participants
Through our recruitment work across the global ETF ecosystem, we see how compensation varies by role, region, and experience.
Many professionals and hiring managers lack reliable benchmarks, making salary discussions and market comparisons difficult.
The ETF Salary Index was created to fill that gap. By bringing together data from across the industry, it provides a clear, independent picture of how talent is rewarded.
Last year, this was a paid report. In 2026, we’re making it freely available — a benchmark the entire ETF ecosystem can use.
The report will provide detailed insights into compensation across the global ETF ecosystem, including:
• Salary ranges across ETF functions and roles
• Compensation differences by region and financial centre
• Trends across experience levels and career progression
• Bonus structures and total compensation dynamics across the industry
To produce meaningful benchmarks, we collect four core data points:
Role & Seniority – Function, title, and years of experience
Location – Country and financial hub
Compensation – Base salary and total compensation (base + bonus + equity)
Bonus Structure – Cash, equity, or deferred
All data is fully anonymized and aggregated before analysis.
• No names or personal identifiers collected
• Individual responses are never published
• Data is reported only in aggregated statistics
This survey is designed to produce industry-level insights, not individual profiling.
