Aviva AGM Remuneration Issues

AGMs are very useful. They enable investors to monitor what management is doing. I recommend Shareholders attend AGMs and give notice beforehand of questions they plan to ask.

I could not resist giving RBS some muted praise for getting 96% approval for their new LTIP, whilst criticising them for their wimpish implementation, which just adds more complexity. DRR of the Month - Royal Bank of Scotland This month ECB editorial board member Cliff Weight comments on the new LTIP at RBS, previously reviewed in the March ECB . The new RBS LTIP is epoch-making.
