CEBS published draft guidelines on remuneration


Default: Change to:


CEBS’ guidelines recommend that at least 50 per cent of any variable remuneration should consist of equity-linked instruments and institutions should apply the same chosen ratio between instruments and cash for their total variable remuneration to both the upfront and deferred portion.


The guidelines also provide for a clawback mechanism so that remuneration may be reclaimed for several reasons, including changes to the institution's economic or regulatory capital base.
Firms must implement a minimum retention period and be able to explain how this minimum retention period relates to other risk alignment measures. The guidelines will also apply on an institution-wide basis and institutions must identify staff members to whom the specific requirements will apply.
The deadline for comment is November 8, 2010.
