Fidelity Investment has upped the price of its shadow shares. In an article oddly titled Fidelity Raises Internal Payouts, Reuters reported that Fidelity added $111 to the value of each executive share. As a family-run, privately owned company, Fidelity issues internal company stock to high-level employees.

Although the increased sales price is likely a sign of a growing business, Fidelity has experienced some management shake-ups recently. In Jaunary, Fidelity president Roger Lawson revealed his plan to step-down, and a replacement has yet to be named. Later in the month, it was confirmed that clearing and custody chief Charles Goldman was also exiting the company.

Additionally, a BusinessWeek article Wednesday noted that Fidelity has been losing mutual fund marketshare over the past 10 years.
