Abstract
This article describes the evolution of the incentive compensation system for the investment division of Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. Today, the system is based on carefully-designed interfaces between actual results, investment benchmarks, risk budgets, and compensation formulas. The authors note that the system is part of a broader compensation structure that rewards managers on the basis of overall absolute fund performance combined with benchmark-relative performance.
