I moved on from contracting some time ago and consolidated my 4/5yrs of contracting exp into one role that came along.
Oh, I thought you were saying you were still doing the contracting. I must have missed that.
I'm strictly paid on incentives - managed money for the most part, which is an especially beautiful thing once you get into nine figures or so AUM and can keep it.
Have several different funds for clients - one a conservative income, one more moderate with value / dividend stocks and higher yielding bonds, and one an unconstrained (pretty much anything goes - all sorts of stocks, quick trades, options, long/short, commodities, junk bonds, etc) aggressive growth / value / allocation type fund that is not meant for everyone and that I have much of my own money in - go 2/20% there.
A few things here and there in addition pay pretty modest extra upfront commissions on things like insurance products - none of that 5-8% plus though that I've seen some people get scalped on at some firms and insurance companies. Mainly the odd variable annuity with a little upfront and a trail from the carrier and some insurance policies here and there - some types of insurance can be a good way for the super rich to get tax free appreciation and to take some money out of the estate and away from any potential estate taxes, creditors, law suits, etc.
