Of the 100 bosses, 43 saw their pay increase last year, with long-term incentive plans accounting for most of the gains.
Female chief executives are also taking home less of the £465.4m total payout to FTSE 100 bosses than their some of their male counterparts.
Earlier this week, research by the consultancy firm Deloitte also revealed similar findings. Almost a third of FTSE 100 CEOs received no increase in base salary, with median salary increases remaining at around 2%. It also revealed the number of FTSE 100 companies facing a revolt from shareholders over excessive pay for their chief executives fell by around a half - 7% of companies compared to 13% last year.Deloitte's annual FTSE 100 executive remuneration report suggests the drop in votes against high pay by shareholders could be attributed to regulatory changes under the new UK Corporate Governance Code.
Stephen Cahill, vice chairman at Deloitte, said"We have seen many companies come forward as 'first movers' in response to new regulatory changes with 29 companies reducing pensions for new hires. "Without a doubt, executive pensions have been the hottest topic of 2019 and we expect this to continue, with a growing focus on incumbent executives receiving the highest pension rates."
