Almost half of all finance professionals expect bonuses to be smaller this year, if they get one at all, according to a Bloomberg Global Poll.

Twenty-seven percent of those surveyed said they foresee this year’s payout dropping compared with 2013, while 18 percent said they don’t expect one, according to the quarterly poll of 562 investors, analysts and traders who are Bloomberg subscribers. Thirty-two percent said they look forward to getting a larger bonus, the July 15-16 poll showed.
