2 Combined Investment and Taxation Optimization Service for Rabbi Trusts Typical “funding” approaches for Rabbi trust-funded NQP’s that deploy life insurance and /or off-the-shelf mutual funds can be rife with cost and tax inefficiencies caused by the inadequate matching of assets and liabilities and the mis- considerations of corporate tax implications. This service combines the extensive modeling and monitoring capabilities of a renowned NQP consultancy with the sophisticated tax analytics, portfolio optimization and volume- based separate account purchasing capabilities of a large, brand name financial institution. The model first analyzes all current trust investments to determine the true after tax rate of return by asset class while considering all sources of expense plus the taxation / ”tax drag” factors.

3 Combined Investment and Taxation Optimization Service for Rabbi Trusts Newly-established employer financial and funding objectives are used to drive asset and liability modeling / matching with overlaid tax analyses in order to optimize current funding of the Rabbi trust. Ongoing performance monitoring assures ongoing NQP trust optimization. Results include improved after-tax rates of return and thus, improved financial statement results.

4 Typical NQP Funding Inadequacies Cost-ineffective COLI funding Tax-inefficient mutual funds Lack of integrated liability assessment. Little or no: -duration analysis, -liquidity planning, -sensitivity testing, -asset class tax-attribution analysis, etc. Lack of advanced “tax overlay” capabilities Inadequate coordination between HR, finance and treasury for prudent plan / funding management
