$1bn in assets isn’t much, at the high end you can charge maybe $20mm a year (hedge fund), at the low end a few million (public equity fund). That needs to pay not just execs but accountants, etc.

Put another way, a $1bn hedge fund is considered a small boutique that typically only employs a handful of people.

Those $20m are literally to keep the lights on (base salary, law firm, prime brokers, data feeds, exchange connectivity).

Nobody in the hedge fund world works for salary.

They work for bonuses. Which for $1bn fund should be another $20m or so (20% profit share of 10% returns), otherwise you suck.

If bonuses aren’t available in non-profits, the base salaries should be much higher.
