Managing Board

The members of the Managing Board collectively manage the company and are responsible for its performance. The Chairman of the Managing Board leads the Board in its management of the company to achieve its performance goals and ambitions, and is the main point of liaison with the Supervisory Board. Mark Fisher has been Chairman of the Managing Board since November 2007.

Compensation policy

Two principles underlie the compensation policy. One is that the package must be competitive so that qualified and expert Managing Board members can be recruited from inside and outside the company and be retained.

The bank has to consider its position in Europe as well as comparing itself with its chosen peer group, so it targets a median or mid-market rate relative to other leading European financial institutions.

The second principle is that there must be a strong emphasis on actual performance against demanding targets in the short and longer term for all components, except base pay.
