After outsize profits at banks during the early stages of the pandemic led to big increases in compensation, chief executives collected a 7% median pay raise in 2022. The decline in stock prices following the recent banking crisis could weigh on the size of this year's awards.
During last year's proxy season, 14 large and midsize banks reported granting special awards in an effort to retain C-level executives. So far this year, just four banks have done so, reflecting a gloomier economic outlook, consultants say.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Bank of America Vice Chairman Paul Donofrio were among the high-level executives who last year received multimillion-dollar retention payments. The awards sometimes known as “golden handcuffs” were driven by the most competitive job market in recent history.
Total direct compensation for the chief executives at large and midsize banks rose by 21.5%, up from a 5% increase in 2020, according to a new analysis. Strong earnings growth and a hot stock market were key factors.
