[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really depends how the firm does comp. typically draws are level each month. Distributions are more variable and often done at quarterly tax time. Those depend on available cash. The biggest distribution will be after the end of the year when hold backs are distributed. Also can depend how much cash the firm collects in december as opposed to the rest of the year.

The size of the distribution will depend on your/your DHs share of firm profits and the profitability of the firm. So hard to say if it is an anomaly without knowing all those variables. [/quote]

Firms draw is definitely not close to level every month.  There is an automatic dispertion and then the draw can fluctuate wildly to the tune of more than $100K.  This draw was the biggest I've seen and I'm wondering if it's a sign of more to come or the december artifact  you mentioned, however I don't think they handle december differently as it has never happened in a previous January.
