Deferred Compensation plans are typically formed to accumulate cash and other investments for key employees to encourage loyalty. The plan may also include performance criteria to motivate employees.

International Pension plans are usually defined contribution plans formed to provide pension benefits to employees who are working outside their country of origin or who are mobile.

Our Financial and Investment Consulting team is able to provide the trustee with advice on a range of investment solutions. This includes information about a "core" list of approved investment & fund managers along with some guidance to help employees consider their own risk and investment preferences. A comprehensive review of the "core" list is also a key part of our ongoing service.

Deferred compensation or pension plan accounts can be viewed by participants online including details of contributions and investments with current market values. Employees can also input details of investment preferences and initiate investment switches online.

Abacus complements these services with

• Employee Financial Education which is relevant in anticipation of employees ultimately receiving value from a plan
• Maturity Services
• Executive Treasury Services.
