(8)A quantitative threshold of EUR 500 000 should be set for the identification of staff members whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the investment firm or of the assets that it manages. Remuneration above that quantitative threshold or amounting to one of the highest remunerations within the investment firm thus establishes a strong presumption that the activities of staff members receiving such remuneration have a material impact on the investment’s risk profile or that of the assets it manages, in which case more supervisory scrutiny should be applied to establish whether the professional activities of such staff members have a material impact on the investment firm’s risk profile or that of the assets it manages.
