Much more than you could possibly imagine. And if you want to make even more money, you manage a hedge fund.

It will depend and vary greatly.  I know Analysts that make more than PMs and PMs that will make more than Analysts.  The total package and who is paid the most will more than likely be based on performance of their products and their individual contribution.

For example, I placed a Sr. International Analyst with a mid-sized firm in Q4 and his offer was a base of $200k with bonus potential to double that.

I also had a Sr. Portfolio Manager start with a client of ours that was covering Asia ex. Japan within their emerging markets strategy.  He is earning a base of $250k with bonus multipliers to earn an additional 250% of their base salary in the form of bonus.

For the most part, Analysts will earn between $75-250k (with some exceptions) and PMs will earn between $150-400k (with some exceptions).

I would have to imagine a guy like Bill Miller at Legg, who has been on top of his world for 15 years (with this year being a down one for him), would be an example of one of the higher paid PMs and I'm sure has W2'd more than $1M for most of those years. 

Thanks

I totally agree with BrokerRecruit here. In my point of view mutual fund portfolio manager pay scale varies from firm to firm if he is working in a insurance company then its less than Fund managers working at brokerage firms.
