Deferred Compensation Plan

A Clear Choice in Executive Benefit Plan Options.

Understanding the Benefits of a DCP.

Deferred compensation grows tax-deferred, and the plan is not subject to discrimination testing like qualified retired plans. From the company’s perspective, these compensation deferrals are viewed as a future promise to pay and are typically structured with an offsetting asset to ensure minimal or no P&L impact on the company sponsor. These assets are often held in trust.
