高盛CEO年薪大縮水
????當(dāng)華爾街的打工皇帝依然是份美差,只是比過去略差了一點(diǎn)。 ????4月13日,高盛(Goldman Sachs)宣布,2011年五大高管薪酬較上一年減少了35%。其中首席執(zhí)行官勞埃德?布蘭克費(fèi)恩的薪酬從前一年的1,800萬美元下降到了1,200萬美元。 ????由此,布蘭克費(fèi)恩在華爾街首席執(zhí)行官薪酬排行榜中的排名直線下降。2011年他賺的錢還不到競爭對手摩根大通(JPMorgan )首席執(zhí)行官杰米?戴蒙(2,300萬美元)的一半,甚至都不及長期以來一直被認(rèn)為在華爾街薪酬排行榜上墊底的花旗(Citigroup)首席執(zhí)行官潘偉迪。潘偉迪2011年的薪酬比布蘭克費(fèi)恩多出了200萬美元?;ㄆ烊ツ陮⑴藗サ系男劫Y上調(diào)了14,000,000%。 ????無論如何,2011年對高盛都是艱難的一年。高盛凈利潤驟減47%,股價近乎腰斬,此外還裁員2,400人。2月份,美國證券交易委員會(Securities and Exchange Commission)告知高盛,可能起訴該公司在2006年末的一次按揭債券發(fā)行過程中,給包括房地美(Freddie Mac)在內(nèi)的投資者造成了超過5億美元額損失?!罢麄€2011年,高盛都受到歐元區(qū)震蕩、客戶活動下降以及監(jiān)管不確定性的挑戰(zhàn),”布蘭克費(fèi)恩和高盛其他董事在致股東的信中這樣寫道。 ????不過,布蘭克費(fèi)恩的薪酬仍包括500萬美元現(xiàn)金,其中獎金300萬美元。其余為限制性股票?,F(xiàn)金/限制性股票比例顯著高于其他首席執(zhí)行官。而且,如果計入過去兩年布蘭克費(fèi)恩獲得的延期支付薪酬,這位首席執(zhí)行官2011年的薪水總和將躍升至1,620萬美元,高于之前一年的1,400萬美元。 ????而且,這些數(shù)字還都不包括一項長期激勵計劃。依據(jù)這項計劃,如果未來兩年該行能實現(xiàn)權(quán)益回報率15%等盈利目標(biāo),布蘭克費(fèi)恩和其他高管每人都將獲得高達(dá)1,050萬美元的獎勵。一些股東已經(jīng)表示,高盛設(shè)立的目標(biāo)太容易。因為過去10年大部分時間,該公司的平均權(quán)益回報率都在19%左右。 ????譯者:早稻米 |
????It's still good to be the king on Wall Street, just less so. ????On Friday, Goldman Sachs (GS) said it paid its top five executives 35% less than it did a year ago. The company cut CEO Lloyd Blankfein's pay to $12 million for 2011 from $18 million a year ago. ????That knocks Blankfein considerably down the ranks of Wall Street's most highly compensated CEOs. He made nearly less than half the $23 million that rival JPMorgan (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon took home in 2011. Even Vikram Pandit, CEO of Citigroup (C), long considered a laggard on Wall Street, got paid $2 million more for 2011 than Blankfein. Citigroup gave Pandit a 14,000,000% raise last year. ????By all accounts, 2011 was a rough one for Goldman. Earnings fell 47%. It's stock dropped a similar amount. Goldman also eliminated 2,400 jobs from its payrolls. In February, the Securities and Exchange Commission told Goldman it was likely to bring charges against the firm for its role in a late-2006 mortgage bond offering that cost investors including Freddie Mac more than $500 million in losses. "Throughout 2011, our firm's performance was challenged by instability in the Eurozone, depressed client activity and regulatory uncertainty," wrote Blankfein and Goldman's other board members in a letter to shareholders. ????Still, Blankfein's pay included $5 million in cash, including a $3 million bonus. The rest was in restricted stock. That was a much higher ratio of cash to restricted stock than the pay packages of other CEOs. Also, when you factor in the deferred compensation that Blankfein has received in the past two years, the CEO's total pay jumps to $16.2 million for 2011, which was up from the $14 million that he received the year before. ????What's more, none of those figures include a long-term incentive plan that could reap Blankfein and Goldman's other top executives as much as $10.5 million each if the bank is able to meet earnings goals over next two years, including a 15% return on equity. Some shareholders have said Goldman set easy targets. The company's ROE has averaged 19% for the much of the past decade. |
