In accordance with MIFIDPRU 8.6.2 the Firm makes the following qualitative remuneration disclosures:
Broad Reach does not benefit from exceptional government intervention.
Broad Reach’s Remuneration Policy sets out the criteria for setting fixed and variable remuneration. All remuneration paid to staff members is clearly categories as either fixed or variable remuneration.
Fixed remuneration is based upon a staff member’s professional experience and organisational responsibility. It is permanent, pre-determined, non-discretionary, non-revocable and not dependent on performance.
Variable remuneration is based upon staff members performance or, in exceptional cases, other conditions.
Performance reflects the long-term performance of the staff member as well as performance in relation to the staff member’s job description and terms of employment, and
Total remuneration is based on balancing both financial and non-financial indicators together with the performance of the Firm and the staff member’s business unit.
The Firm ensures that fixed and variable components of the total remuneration are appropriately balanced; and the fixed component represents a sufficiently high proportion of the total remuneration to enable the operation of a fully flexible policy on variable remuneration.
The Firm monitors fixed to variable compensation to ensure SYSC 19G is adhered to with respect to Total Remuneration.
All firms are required to publicly disclose certain quantitative information in relation to the levels of remuneration awarded.
As an SNI firm and in accordance with MIFIDPRU 8.6.8, Broad Reach is required to disclose the total amount of remuneration awarded to all staff, split into fixed and variable remuneration.
For the performance year ending 31 December 2022:
Total fixed remuneration awarded £2,047,250
