Pillar 3 remuneration disclosures

The following tables show the remuneration awards made by HSBC to its Identified Staff and MRTs for 2014. Individuals have been identified as MRTs based on the qualitative and quantitative criteria set out in the Regulatory Technical Standard EU 604/2014 that came into force in June 2014. This replaces the criteria that were previously used to identify Code Staff for the purposes of the PRA's and the FCA's Remuneration Code.

The scope of the qualitative and quantitative criteria specified in Regulatory Technical Standard EU 604/2014 to identify MRTs is much broader than the criteria used to identify Code Staff in previous years. Accordingly, the number of individuals identified as MRTs for 2014 is significantly larger than the number of individuals that were identified as Code Staff in previous years. The figures for 2013 in the tables below relate to the number of individuals that were identified as Code Staff for 2013. 

These disclosures reflect the requirements of the FCA's Prudential Sourcebook for Banks.
