为什么有那么多人挤破头都想进华尔街?原因很简单，因为这里是名副其实的造富工厂。

　　或许你对上周公布的华尔街投行大佬们的工资单感到震惊，去年美国六大银行(摩根大通、美国银行、高盛、摩根士丹利、花旗和富国银行)的CEO们一共赚了9610万美元，超过2012年的8630万美元，这也是自金融危机以来的最高水平。

　　但是这六大CEO的薪酬统统加起来，也比不上一位31岁的对冲基金交易员——James Levin。

　　他是冲基金公司Och-Ziff Capital的全球信用负责人以及执行董事总经理(Executive Managing Director)。去年他的薪酬达到了惊人的1.19亿美元。

　　根据SEC的文件，Levin去年的薪酬几乎全部来自股票奖励。以往对冲基金中薪酬最高的都是基金的创始人，但随着人才争夺战的升级，对冲基金公司必须增加筹码才能吸引最顶级的交易员。

　　Levin因2012年一笔明星交易一鸣惊人。华尔街见闻网站此前提到：

　　2012年，Levin以75亿美元押注结构性信用债工具。仅此一项投资，如果不计基金收费，他领导的14人全球信用团队就为公司获利20亿美元，全公司上下468名员工加起来整年交易收入也不过34亿美元。

　　据此计算，Levin去年投资这类信用产品约有27%的盈利。

　　结构性信用产品包括各种证券，拥有住房抵押贷款、信用卡、购车还贷、企业贷款等现金流的各类债权，分为MBS等不同的证券，风险和相应的收益率也各不相同。

　　随着美国房地产市场的回暖，投资者开始青睐这些高收益的债权，这些产品的价格在最近两年大幅上涨。

　　在某种程度上来说，Levin的投资策略相较于竞争对手风险更高，因为他很少做对冲。有知情人士称，Levin的团队是住房与商业MBS相关投资产品的超级大买家。

　　《华尔街日报》曾报道，Levin在哈佛大学拿的是计算机学士学位，但在没拿到学位的时候，他多年以前就认识了自己现在的老板——Och-Ziff的一位创始人Daniel Och。因为Levin曾经在夏令营里教Och的儿子学滑水。

　　在2006年正式加入Och-Ziff Capital前，他在冲基金公司Sagamore Hill Capital和Dune Capital工作。2014-04-16 08:40:09华尔街见闻

Mr. Levin, 31, who goes by Jimmy and now carries the titles of head of global credit and an executive managing director at Och-Ziff, didn’t receive any other salary or bonus last year. He did receive “Operating Group D Units” of the firm, which represent claims on Och-Ziff’s profits. And his stock reward amounted to more than five times the nearly $21 million in shares received by the firm’s founder, Daniel Och, according to the filing. The pair have a history together: Mr. Levin first got to know Mr. Och when he taught Mr. Och’s son to water ski at summer camp several years ago, before Mr. Levin completed a degree in computer science at Harvard University.

Likely part of the reason for last year’s huge payday: Mr. Levin’s credit team, with just 14 members, accounted for more than half of the 468-person firm’s $3.4 billion trading gains in 2012, according to people close to the situation, as prices of the debt rallied amid a U.S. housing rebound.

Mr. Levin’s payout underscores the riches that come to hedge-fund investors with prescient stock and bond picks. But it also points to how these investors generally are paid based on one-year paper gains, rather than realized profits. It’s not clear if Mr. Levin and Och-Ziff exited all of their structured-credit trades or how they performed last year. It’s also not clear how much risk Mr. Levin took to score his huge gains.

榜样啊！！

血脉喷张啊

牛人那！！！！！！！！牛

英雄出少年，31是已过而立之年，应该算是不小了，是不是在交易员尤其是顶级交易员的圈子里，算是比较年轻的？

Trading is a tough business with high burnout rates. 看来31岁少年trader说难以为我们接受。事实上，西方欧美国家的职业trader 现在都是大学本科/硕士毕业后入行当学徒。到30岁左右经历一个牛熊周期不被淘汰则进入到trader的青少年期。近30年来有记录的天才成名者大都在35岁左右。以后一直做到67岁退休。业余traders则在60多岁退休后全职进入到交易领域--computer/internet trading 使得trading作为一个job没有了年龄的上限--只要你的脑子还好用。

The Golden age of trading：Maureen Christensen had put in 32 years as an information technology specialist when in June 2007 she retired with the intention of kicking back and letting her newly hired adviser worry about her finances. That plan came to a crashing halt a few months later when a full-blown financial crisis struck. The Portland, Ore. resident felt helpless watching her savings evaporate.

Unconvinced, Christensen started reading investing books, sitting in on investing webinars and buying and selling options in a dummy trading account. Now, at age 64, she climbs out of bed at 6 a.m. weekdays, careful not to wake her husband, and heads to a home office outfitted with several computers, a high-speed Internet connection and a backup power supply. She uses a portion of her retirement savings to manage a portfolio of high-dividend stocks. With the rest she actively trades stock options, keeping her busy until New York’s markets close. Then she devotes another two hours to paperwork and research.

“If I’d known I was going to do this when I retired, I’d have started learning about economics and world markets long ago,” Christensen says. “It’s absolutely fascinating.”
