According to a survey carried out on behalf of the Financial Information Services Division by Lakefront Data Ventures, hedge fund managers earn an average base salary of £192,029, with the maximum wage of those working in this area being $326,087.
Data vendors receive an average of $132,186, the statistics suggested, with those involved in retail banking receiving $94,361.
The figures also indicated a difference in pay levels between the sexes, with men working in the industry receiving an average of $179,246 - nearly $30,000 more than women.
Commenting, chief executive officer of Lakefront Dale Richards stated: "This type of data is particularly critical now as the financial information services area continues to evolve".
