As SAC Capital Advisors continues to face pressure over federal insider trading investigations, the hedge fund wants investors to know that it can do better to stop problems from arising, saying that it plans to bolster its compliance practices, the New York Times DealBook blog reported yesterday. Perhaps the most notable move is the firm’s institution of clawbacks for the deferred compensation of employees facing criminal or civil cases. Should an employee leave SAC during an investigation, his or her payouts will be withheld. If the case leads to sanctions or other punishments, the compensation will not be paid out.
