Prime brokerage: Competition heats up among prime brokers

Long-dated financing set to be competitive edge; Revenues tested as hedge funds have tough year

That compares with investment banking, where compensation is expected to be between 5% lower and 5% higher than last year.

Compensation is growing largely a result of increased demand for prime brokerage talent, as banks realize that it is time to rebuild after the crisis.
