Going for Gold(man): UK bank analyst pay tops out at 71,000 pounds

LONDON, July 29 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS-PB - news) and Morgan Stanley (Shenzhen: 002588.SZ - news) are offering the fattest bonuses to their London analysts, but if it's a high base salary you're after then head to Deutsche Bank (Xetra: 514000 - news) , according to a survey on Wednesday.

Analysts, the lowest position on the investment banking ladder, could expect to receive an average annual bonus of 20,000 pounds ($31,000) from the two U.S. banks, according to a survey by pay data website Emolument.com.

Meanwhile, Deutsche Bank paid the largest average salary excluding bonus, at 56,000 pounds.

The three institutions, alongside UBS (NYSEArca: FBGX - news) , topped pay rankings, with an average annual remuneration package of 71,000 pounds for each of their analysts including bonuses.

Credit Suisse (NYSE: CS - news) is close behind with 70,000 pounds, while JP Morgan pays 64,000 pounds, the survey found following responses from 372 analysts working in London investment banks.

The lowest pay on the ten-strong list came from BNP Paribas (Xetra: 887771 - news) , at 56,000 pounds.

Analysts can expect to receive up to 28 percent of their income in bonuses, the report found.

But it gets better if you can move up the ladder: an associate can receive 42 percent, and if you scale the lofty heights of managing director, the figure could be over 50 percent.
