While the world waits to see exactly what the G20 will do about bonuses, the New York Post reports that Goldman is considering pre-empting the G20 decision by introducing longer vesting periods, and by paying its senior executives entirely in stock.

Although Lloyd Blankfein has been very vocal about reforming banking pay, Goldman is one of a few banks that hasn’t (as far as we know) increased salaries or introduced clawbacks.

Neither measure appears to be on the table now either, but if vesting periods are lengthened, senior Goldman bankers may find themselves obliged to wait a lot longer than would previously have been the case before they can access the rewards resulting from the firm’s performance. By that time, there’s a vague possibility that vampire squids and the like will have been forgotten.
