1.2 Philosophy
The AMP Board’s approach to executive remuneration is to align remuneration
with the creation of value for AMP shareholders.
AMP’s remuneration is market competitive and aims to attract, retain and motivate
high calibre employees who contribute to the
success of AMP’s business.
AMP pays for performance. All executives have a significant component of their
remuneration at risk. Specific details about these
components are listed below.
1.3 Remuneration structure
During 2007, executive remuneration comprised four key components:
Fixed 1. Base salary, including salary sacrifi ce benefits and applicable
Fringe Benefi ts Tax
2. Superannuation on base salary
At risk 3. Short-term incentives (STI) and superannuation on STI
4. Long-term incentives (LTI)
Base salary
An executive’s salary is determined according to their level of responsibility,
importance to the business and market competitiveness.
Base salaries are fixed payments and are reviewed (but not necessarily increased)
each year taking into account the appropriate
market-based salary for the role and individual.
The base salary is targeted around the median market rate. This means that
AMP is ranked broadly in the middle of comparable
companies for executive base salaries. Total remuneration above the market
median can be achieved through AMP’s short- and
long-term incentives, which reward high levels of performance.
Superannuation
Executives, with the exception of Andrew Mohl and Craig Meller, received superannuation
entitlements equal to 10.5 per cent of
their base salary and their short-term incentive payment. Andrew Mohl received
superannuation contributions equal to nine per cent
of the superannuation maximum contribution base.
Similarly, Craig Meller, on appointment to his new role as Managing Director,
AMP Financial Services, received entitlements equal to
nine per cent of the superannuation maximum entitlements base. Prior to this
he received superannuation entitlements equal to
10.5 per cent of his base salary and short-term incentive payment.
Executives may choose to increase the proportion of their remuneration taken
as superannuation, subject to legislative guidelines.
