Raymond James
The firm is increasing base compensation for first-, second-, and third-year investment-bank analysts, according to an email sent by James Bunn, Raymond James' president of global equities and investment banking. The raises will take effect on October 1.
While Bunn said in his email that the pay bumps should put Raymond James at the "high end of analyst salaries on the Street," junior bankers may not end up taking home more total pay than before.
"Importantly, our primary focus is on total compensation (salary + bonus) and these salary increases are not intended to represent an increase in total comp," said the email.
UBS
The bank is raising salaries for analysts, associates, and directors within its investment bank, two people familiar with the matter told Insider on July 21.
The raises were effective August 1. And analysts, associates, and directors across all regions are eligible for the raise.
Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo raised base comp for analysts and associates in its corporate and investment bank, a Wells Fargo spokesperson confirmed to Insider. These raises are retroactive to July 1.
"We can confirm the adjustment of base pay in certain client-facing positions across the Corporate and Investment Bank, which ensures we remain competitive and aligned with market practices," the spokesperson said. "We are committed to offering compensation that attracts, motivates, and retains talent."
William Blair
William Blair is raising base salaries for bankers from first-year analysts to managing directors. The raises went into effect in the Aug. 15 payroll cycle. A person familiar with the matter told Insider that the raises apply to the firm's investment bankers globally.
William Blair executives earlier this year told its investment-banking analysts, associates, and vice presidents who joined the firm before Jan. 31 they would receive "a special, one-time spot bonus" in the amount of $20,000. More recent hires got smaller bonuses. The special bonuses hit accounts in the April 15 payroll cycle.
