Fixed remuneration is based upon a staff member’s professional experience and organisational responsibility. It is permanent, pre-determined, non-discretionary, non-revocable and not dependent on performance.

Variable remuneration is based upon staff members performance or, in exceptional cases, other conditions.

Performance reflects the long-term performance of the staff member as well as performance in excess of the staff member’s job description and terms of employment, and

• includes discretionary pension benefits; and
• includes carried interest, as referred to in SYSC 19G.1.27R.

Total remuneration is based on balancing both financial and non-financial indicators together with the performance of the Firm and the staff member’s business unit.
