Goldman Sachs Eliminates Bonus Cap for UK Bankers

The move allows top performers to earn up to 25 times their base salary, aligning UK practices with global standards.

  • Goldman Sachs has removed the bonus cap for its UK-based bankers, previously limited to twice the base salary.
  • The decision follows the UK's post-Brexit regulatory changes, enabling more competitive compensation structures.
  • Other major banks like HSBC and Barclays are expected to implement similar changes soon.
  • The change is part of a broader effort to make London a more attractive financial hub compared to rivals like New York.
  • Critics argue the removal could lead to increased risk-taking, although it aims to align pay with performance.
