We compare CEO pay level similarities and differences focusing on investor demographics, delineating controlled companies that have few majority shareholders and their non-controlled counterparts with diverse constituent shareholders.
A controlled company has few majority shareholders that can be a parent or other corporate entity, a private equity or venture capital firm, and/or founders along with their immediate and extended family.
The benchmark job, Chief Executive Officer, is the focus of analysis.
Controlled companies’ median values in all three segments for revenue were higher and for assets lower than non-controlled companies.
Revenue is the gross annual money received from sales, interest, dividends earned, and other business transactions.
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) is a measure reported fora one-year as well as three-year period. At ERI, we apply a rolling 12-month and 36-month period to report this metric.
