Have Equity Distribution Bonuses Grown in Popularity?

In February’s Thelander Digest, we examine if equity / program distribution bonuses have grown in popularity. 

Since carried interest can often take a long time to pay off, some firms choose to offer equity or program distribution bonuses. This allows firms to distribute earnings upon the success of a deal. When there’s a hit, a percentage is distributed to the team.

Let’s take a look at Thelander data with the two charts below.
