Instead of 2/20, the 1/10 structure for incentive accounts makes much more sense. If they are giving 0/10, then make sure to ask for some fixed couple hundred bucks monthly from each account, as getting extra technology/help to have an "operationally" very efficient trading desk will definitely help both parties in the longer term. Although after a hurdle of say 15-20% returns you can ask for incentive to be raised to 20%.
You're just not providing enough information to help. I don't know what the asset classes is,I don't know what you're trading strategies is, I don't know how much a AUM you're being offered or what your projected earnings are ...::
See how things work out for you, and your associates. If you are truly good...then I don't see why you can't ask for a bigger share of the profit pie, The bargaining chips have slightly moved in your favor now, But chances are, you are basically Average (if not piss poor) -- no offense, just reality. ...nothing to get excited about, Trading is a finicky and fickle business; The magical words of 'Past performance is no guarantee of the future'...are ever so golden...and I hope your associates are well aware of this.
