Wisconsin doles out $1.6 million in performance bonuses

The Wisconsin State Investment Board, Madison, paid a total of $1.6 million in performance bonuses to its professional investment staff, up from $972,000 last year, said Vicki Hearing, public information officer. Some $1.7 million was available this year, but not all of the 50 members of the $70 billion system's staff received bonuses, she said. The bonuses are based in part on beating investment benchmarks.
