Tailored Solutions to Increase Retention & Facilitate Wealth Creation

Retirement wealth facilitation

In today’s market, recruiting top talent while retaining existing employees is at the top of every business owner’s mind, regardless of business size or industry. It’s a delicate balance to create a sustainable, thriving organization with a secure bottom line while providing opportunity and growth for its employees.

Your workforce drives your company’s success, and investment in your employees can yield long-term returns in productivity, innovation, and overall business growth. Developing and executing a competitive, comprehensive benefits package can be a challenge, especially in fields such as real estate, where individuals may not be eligible to participate in tax-qualified plans such as a 401(k).

In partnership with NQP Consulting, HelloWealth is an executive-level benefit planning consulting firm.

With over 30 years of experience amongst our principals, we specialize in designing and implementing nonqualified deferral compensation plans and supplemental executive wealth creation plans within the real estate industry and other markets.

We partner with companies nationwide to craft innovative, customized solutions that enhance a company’s benefits package and facilitate wealth creation and stability for plan participants.

What is a Nonqualified Deferral Compensation Plan?

A nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) plan is a type of retirement or compensation plan that allows employees to defer a portion of their income to be paid out at a future date. Unlike qualified plans, such as a 401(k), NQDC plans are not subject to compliance with Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) regulations, giving employers more flexibility in how they design the plan.

What is a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan?

Offered in conjunction with the deferred compensation plan, a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) is a type of nonqualified deferred compensation plan that provides additional retirement benefits to employees beyond what is available through qualified retirement plans like 401(k)s or pensions. SERPs are designed to reward and retain top performers and key personnel by offering a more substantial retirement benefit.

Overview of Plans Offered

Deferred Compensation Plan

This nonqualified deferred compensation plan offered by the plan sponsor acts as any other deferred compensation plan would. Each employee will defer a certain percentage of their compensation and earn a rate of return indexed with a specified floor and cap. The deferrals and the earnings thereon will create an account balance.

The benefit amount will be determined based on what this account balance reaches upon attaining the benefit age. The benefit will be paid in equal monthly installments beginning after attaining the benefit age.

Supplemental Plan

The supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) is offered in conjunction with the deferred compensation plan. This plan and the benefits associated with it are what sets it apart from other retirement & benefit plans offered.

The SERP benefit is based on an individual’s highest three years of compensation until the benefit age. The benefit goal made by the plan sponsor is to pay 25% of the average of the highest three years of earnings. This benefit will be paid out in the same manner that the deferral plan is being paid.

Residual Death Benefit

There is also a residual death benefit promise made to the participant’s beneficiary under the supplemental plan. There is a $100,000 lump sum paid to the participant’s beneficiary upon death of the participant as well as a $25,000 burial expense offered. To receive either of these lump sums, the participant had to have been in service of the company or attained their benefit age at the time of the death.
