This was a great year on Wall Street to help buy and sell drug companies. Distressed debt and mortgage-linked securities? Not so much.
Financial firms are preparing to lavish this year’s biggest raises on health-care bankers, who will probably see a 20 percent bump on average, according to an Options Group Inc. report projecting this year’s biggest pay swings. Other winners include telecommunications, media and technology bankers and traders of rates options and equity derivatives -- all getting 15 percent more than last year. Traders of distressed debt and fixed-rate collateralized mortgage obligations may see their compensation tumble 25 percent.
