Fed Tells CEOs of Top Banks to Meet With Regulators

Bloomberg reports:
The chief executive officers of 28 of the largest U.S. banks have been summoned to meet with supervisors at Federal Reserve banks to discuss new rules on compensation, said a person familiar with the matter.

The Fed this month said it will review the largest banks to ensure compensation doesn’t create incentives for the kinds of risky investments that brought the global financial system to the edge of collapse, prompting bailouts of firms including Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc.
