  • Incorporating TSR into the compensation system will likely motivate companies to increase shareholder returns, which is a good thing if it leads to the return of unused cash to shareholders.
  • As long as fixed compensation remains high, there won’t be much incentive to put a lot of cash into growth investments that boost corporate value.
