Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser got a raise last yr, but still makes lower than rival bank CEOs

Citigroup Chief Executive Jane Fraser got a roughly 6% year-over-year raise last yr, bringing her total 2023 compensation to $26 million, the bank said on Tuesday, citing what it said were her “sound” strategic priorities.

Fraser’s total compensation package for 2023 included a $1.5 million base salary, a $3.675 million money incentive and around $20.8 million in deferred incentives, like deferred stock and performance share units.

That figure wasn’t as high as a few of her CEO counterparts at other large banks. But Citigroup

in a filing, said that under Fraser’s leadership, the bank had taken big strides to simplify operations — through a pullback from its markets outside the U.S. — strengthened its wealth business and improved shareholder returns.

The filing also said she had taken steps to deal with regulatory concerns. The Federal Reserve in 2020 told Citi to tighten up its risk-management controls. In a related motion at the moment, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency hit the bank with a nice.

The filing on Tuesday also cited what it said were “essentially the most consequential set of changes to its organizational and management model for the reason that 2008 financial crisis.”

Under her leadership, the bank has shed management layers, created a “client organization” more directly accountable for handling clients, and reorganized the corporate in order that its top business leaders reported on to her.

Shares of Citigroup were up 0.2% after hours, after ending 1% higher during regular trading hours.

While the stock is up 11% over the past 12 months, it remains to be down over the past three years, and still well down from levels before the 2008 financial crisis. The corporate last yr grew sales by 4%, but net income fell 38% from 2022.
