Joseph Manko, The Horton Fund - Incentive-based compensation: the devil is in the details

Small-Cap Institute Presents...

Every small-cap investor is concerned about revenue growth and profitability. But executive compensation needs to be driven by incentives that are company specific versus one-size-fits-all. Listen to Joe talk about one of his portfolio companies and how large a portion of executive compensation is focused upon key performance metrics other than EBITDA and revenue. As Joe adroitly points out, getting executive compensation right is about in-depth company/industry knowledge as much as it is about what’s actually going to motivate a given management team.

It’s one thing to have a great career in investment banking, a standout career in law, or be a long-tenured institutional investor; Joseph Manko, Jr. has done all three. In his senior role at The Horton Fund, Joe now has a front row seat daily to the unique boardroom challenges faced by small-cap companies. SCI is confident that you’ll learn from his candid, poignant observations.
