Demystifying Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans

Overview


While many employers offer a non-qualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan, these valuable benefit programs are often a point of confusion for plan administrators and the executives who are eligible to participate in the plans.

  • Funding strategies (COLI vs. mutual funds)
  • Asset / liability matching
  • Creating a competitive edge
  • Increasing awareness and utilization
