When determining the risk free rate to calculate the value of an index using the DDM model, do you use for instance the risk free rate of US T-Bills with three month maturity? Or do you take the average rate of the T-Bills over a certain period. Do you have links to resources showing what analysts are using.

Additionally should I be using 3months Tbills rate or long term bond rate

I use the 10yr average of the 10yr security. My valuations are much less volatile that way.

I came into a hedge fund job as an analyst in February of this year and didn’t negotiate my bonus at the outset. I was coming from tech and needed a green card so didn’t have much room to do so.

With bonus season coming up, I have a feeling my PM is going to underpay me. Should I bring up the subject myself? Also, how do I get a sense of what I’m worth? I did not trade but was the main data guy and built a tool that is indispensable for our process. Is 10% of his cut of PnL reasonable?
