Who is the best-paid fund manager in Romania?
A fund manager was in 2010 the best-paid employee in Bucharest, with a net income of 145,000 lei/month, reveal statistics of the biggest salary incomes in Bucharest recently released by ANAF (Romanian fiscal authorities). All clues point to Greg Konieczny, manager of Fondul Proprietatea (FP - Property Fund) and employee of the Bucharest branch of Franklin Templeton Investments Ltd.
"I think the fund manager in the ANAF statistics is Greg Konieczny because I honestly doubt that a Romanian investment fund manager could collect a monthly salary of 145,000 lei, considering the value of net assets that Romanian fund managers handle and the asset structure," said Dragoş Neacşu, president of investment management company Erste Asset Management, the biggest local mutual fund manager, with over 600 million euros in net assets.
