With reference to today's hearing I would like to point out that compensation for Bankers cannot be seen in isolation. Pay for staff in other sectors of the financial services industry - especially in the so-called 'Private' Equity business as well as in Hedge Funds - exerts a strong influence on pay levels in (investment) banking and the securities business. In addition, the problem of spiralling compensation for (top) executives in general industry and business is far from being resolved and also influences the general atmosphere with respect to control (or lack of control) of senior executive pay.
