On May 21, 2015, the Financial Conduct Authority published a letter from its Director of Supervision, Clive Adamson, to the Remuneration Committee Chair of banks, building societies and investment firms with total assets exceeding £50 billion. The letter highlights the FCA's expectations on the application of malus (bonus clawback) ahead of the annual review of remuneration policies and practices by the FCA and the Prudential Regulation Authority. Following the first annual review, the FCA published guidance to share best practices on the application of malus to variable remuneration and ex-ante risk adjustments.
The letter is available at: http://www.fca.org.uk/static/documents/letter-to-remco-chairs-setting-out-malus%20expectations.pdf.
