Comparing Yee Hop Holdings Limited's CEO Compensation With the industry

Our data indicates that Yee Hop Holdings Limited has a market capitalization of HK$880m, and total annual CEO compensation was reported as HK$1.8m for the year to March 2021. This means that the compensation hasn't changed much from last year. We note that the salary portion, which stands at HK$1.36m constitutes the majority of total compensation received by the CEO.

In comparison with other companies in the industry with market capitalizations under HK$1.6b, the reported median total CEO compensation was HK$1.8m. From this we gather that Andrew Yan is paid around the median for CEOs in the industry.

Component	2021	2020	Proportion (2021)
Salary	HK$1.4m	HK$1.3m	74%
Other	HK$471k	HK$471k	26%
Total Compensation	HK$1.8m	HK$1.8m	100%

Talking in terms of the industry, salary represented approximately 90% of total compensation out of all the companies we analyzed, while other remuneration made up 10% of the pie. Yee Hop Holdings sets aside a smaller share of compensation for salary, in comparison to the overall industry. If salary is the major component in total compensation, it suggests that the CEO receives a higher fixed proportion of the total compensation, regardless of performance.
