Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc has done more than any other bank to reduce executive compensation in the wake of the financial crisis, cutting the bonus pool at its investment bank by more than 90 percent since 2010, Chairman Howard Davies told shareholders.
RBS removed “exaggerated bonus levels that were paid in respect of unrealistic profits,” Davies, 65, said at the bank’s annual general meeting in Edinburgh on Wednesday. The company is “trying to pay responsibly for people who do a good job,” he said.
