Bank Regulation: Agencies Should Finalize Rulemaking on Incentive Compensation
Note: The figure presents the median share of each compensation category for the 10 banks we reviewed. The compensation packages represent the named executive officers, which are the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and the next three highest-paid executives. Our analysis compared First Republic Bank, Signature Bank, and Silicon Valley Bank to a group of seven U.S.-based banks with similar business lines that each had total assets between $100 and $250 billion at year-end 2022. The 2022 information for First Republic Bank was not publicly available because the bank did not release its 2023 proxy statement or publicly disclose its 2022 executive compensation prior to its failure on May 1, 2023. The banks' long-term incentive plans generally assessed executive officers' performance over 3 years and were granted over a vesting period of 3 years.
