I've noticed there has been quite a bit of discussion lately on both the MNS and KNL threads regarding director/management salaries and also a bit on the R&D tax rebate leading up to the AGMs.
I've put together the table below showing 2018 costs for both companies for comparison as they are peers and operate in the same countries. All figures on the table are from the annual reports of each company (linked at the bottom of the post)
I guess what stands out to me is the significantly higher costs for KNL resources. The total costs are a little over double that of MNS who have more resources (but receive less remuneration)
Anyway make of that what you will, I just thought I'd put something up for discussion. Hope it helps with your investments!
