1st Quarter 2016

Compensation Trends and Projections

May 2016

After the first quarter, Johnson Associates broadly projects lower incentive compensation across financial services.  Incentive compensation for asset management is projected to decrease modestly. For major investment & commercial banking firms, incentive compensation is broadly projected to be down across most businesses.  Mix of business, market activity, U.S. election year, interest rates, and ongoing uncertainty in world markets are key 2016 incentive drivers.
