The pay of top managers has risen faster than those of other star earners. Top management compensation packages guarantee a high level of pay, but are often only weakly linked to the performance of the firm relative to its industry competitors. Nowadays, the same handful of large, diversified asset management companies controls a significant proportion of US corporations. In other words, these managers are rewarded less for outperforming their competitors.

In fact, many VCs don’t even invest in their fund from their personal assets, instead contributing their investment via their share of the management fees. LPs can certainly do a better job of paying VCs to act less like asset managers and more like investors.
