According to our data, Timbercreek Financial Corp. has a market capitalization of CA$579m, and paid its CEO total annual compensation worth CA$232k over the year to December 2024. That is, the compensation was roughly the same as last year. While this analysis focuses on total compensation, it's worth acknowledging that the salary portion is lower, valued at CA$115k.

On examining similar-sized companies in the Canadian Diversified Financial industry with market capitalizations between CA$277m and CA$1.1b, we discovered that the median CEO total compensation of that group was CA$1.0m. Accordingly, Timbercreek Financial pays its CEO under the industry median. Moreover, Robert Tamblyn also holds CA$1.5m worth of Timbercreek Financial stock directly under their own name, which reveals to us that they have a significant personal stake in the company.

On an industry level, roughly 45% of total compensation represents salary and 55% is other remuneration. Our data reveals that Timbercreek Financial allocates salary more or less in line with the wider market. If non-salary compensation dominates total pay, it's an indicator that the executive's salary is tied to company performance.
