Bank of America's chief executive is the best value among his Wall Street peers, according to analysis by Financial News.

The US bank made pre-tax profits of $32bn (€24bn) last year, for which chief executive Kenneth Lewis received total remuneration of $27.9m. This means he generated $1.146bn in pre-tax profit last year for every $1m he earned in pay, edging out rival Charles Prince at Citigroup, who made $1.144bn in profit for every $1m he earned.
