Morgan Stanley’s James Gorman received a $14 million compensation package for his first year as chief executive officer, less than the $15 million he was awarded for 2009.

Gorman, 52, received a $1.55 million cash bonus and a deferred cash bonus of $2.33 million that can be clawed back, in addition to his salary, stock, option awards and other compensation, the New York-based firm said yesterday in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. About $1.94 million of Gorman’s $5.82 million in stock compensation depends on the company meeting performance measures.

Gorman’s pay package trailed the $23.6 million that JPMorgan Chase & Co. awarded to CEO Jamie Dimon and the $19.1 million that Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO Lloyd Blankfein received. Morgan Stanley, owner of the world’s largest brokerage, fell 8.1 percent last year, lagging the share performance of those two rivals. The firm posted annual earnings of $4.7 billion, the highest profit since 2006.
