"SLI will be 15 years old this year, and to see this milestone being reached in such a relatively short space of time is quite important to us," said Mr Skeoch, who earned £2 million last year and was Standard Life's highest-earning director in 2009. He joined SLI as investment chief in 1999 and became chief executive five years later.
