How Does Mehdi Azodi's Compensation Compare With Similar Sized Companies?
Our data indicates that Belgravia Hartford Capital Inc. is worth CA$4.0m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as CA$979k for the year to December 2018. While we always look at total compensation first, we note that the salary component is less, at CA$318k. Importantly, there may be performance hurdles relating to the non-salary component of the total compensation. We examined a group of similar sized companies, with market capitalizations of below CA$260m. The median CEO total compensation in that group is CA$223k.
It would therefore appear that Belgravia Hartford Capital Inc. pays Mehdi Azodi more than the median CEO remuneration at companies of a similar size, in the same market. However, this fact alone doesn't mean the remuneration is too high. We can better assess whether the pay is overly generous by looking into the underlying business performance.
