Finansinspektionen's regulations regarding remuneration structures in credit institutions, investment firms and fund management companies

Finansinspektionen issued regulations implementing EU Credit Institution Directive requirements to align remuneration policies with risk management in credit institutions and investment firms. The rules mandate gender-neutral practices, require deferral of variable remuneration exceeding SEK 100,000 for risk-impacting staff, and impose share-based payout requirements for senior management at large institutions. Subsequent amendments excluded securities companies and discretionary portfolio managers, while refining definitions of risk-impacting employees and adjusting deferral exemptions for smaller firms.
