That's just my point - bonuses are compensation for a good year. Bad year? Bad bonus. It's a way to drive performance. You don't have massive research teams only to make risky blind bets. That's the point of doing research. In essence, GOOD investment decisions are those being rewarded. You won't be getting a bonus if you're losing your clients money.
Also, you don't have to be a trader to get paid in bonuses. I've never made a single trade outside of my personal account and the vast majority of my compensation is bonus derived.
I'm also not sure why they always say "banker" when they have almost nothing to do with risky trades.
