Executive Benefits
Executive benefit plans are an attractive way to recognize, retain and reward top talent. By design these plans are selective in nature and can be provided to the “key” people in an organization. Government limits and restrictions on the amount that employees and employers may contribute towards qualified retirement plans, such as an IRA, 401(k) or 403(b) leave many highly compensated executives - usually your top key people - without enough retirement income to sustain their current standard of living. These plans are designed to provide additional income and/or benefits to those people who are key to your organization.
The Process
Analyze the client objectives and develop targeted plans for the key executives. Typical objectives are:
- Provide additional money on a tax favored basis
- Recognize exceptional performance
- Retain a key employee through “Golden Handcuffs”
- Indemnify the organization if a key executive dies
- Provide post retiree benefits
