Download our special report on executive perquisites, which provides extensive data and analysis of why costs have spiked among S&P 500 companies in recent years, with a focus on air travel, housing and security.

 Key highlights: 

- Since 2019, **total S&P 500 perquisite costs are up 41%**, and certain perks are becoming much more common – **nearly half of the index now pays for CEO air travel**, and the proportion of companies covering security is up more than 40%.
- These trends reflect ongoing fallout from the pandemic, changes to the way white-collar professionals work, and a **more competitive market for CEO talent**.
- As costs go up and perquisites become more widespread, this once-forgotten component of executive pay is receiving **more investor scrutiny, in both engagement and proxy voting**.

**Air, Housing & Security Cost Breakdown (in millions)**
