Executive Compensation Design report:
Our Executive Compensation Design report is based on the published information on the compensation programmes applicable to the Boards of Directors and Executive Committees of the top 100 listed companies in Switzerland. The information is structured as follows:
- Compensation of the Board of Directors: information on the compensation model (board retainer, committee fees, meeting fees), the form of compensation (cash versus equity) and the level of the fees.
- Compensation of the Executive Committees: information on the compensation mix, the design of the short-term and long-term incentives, the format of clawback or malus provisions, as well as share ownership guidelines.
The report also includes individual company profiles and line-by-line data in EXCEL format. It is a uniquely detailed and comprehensive work of reference for anyone with an interest in the compensation of Swiss managers and non-executive directors.
Companies that purchase the report are invited to:
- Our annual roundtable, including a full day event with guest speakers and an exchange on executive compensation, and
- Six monthly Teams meetings from September to February focusing on topics in executive compensation chosen by the participants.
Executive Compensation Levels report:
This report is based on a survey (information collected from the participating companies) and includes data on the compensation levels for functions of the Executive Committee and other functions reporting to the Chief Executive Officer that are based in Switzerland. In order to ensure the highest level of relevance, the data is presented in four cuts for each function:
- SMI companies,
- SMIM companies,
- SPI companies (non-SMI and non-SMIM), and
- All companies.
We were able to increase the number of companies included in our data base to 62 companies (previous year: 48 companies). Especially, an increasing number of companies outside the SMI and SMIM participated for the first time in our survey, which increases the robustness of the data in the cuts “all companies” and “SPI companies (non-SMI and non-SMIM)”.
