💼 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) — Closing the Retirement Income Gap
The Challenge
High-income earners often face an income gap that traditional retirement strategies simply can’t bridge. During retirement, many will spend six times the cost of their home — and that’s before factoring in market downturns, inflation, and escalating taxes.
The truth is, even the most disciplined savers can watch their wealth erode when economic bubbles burst or tax laws shift. That’s why supplemental retirement income — protected from both market volatility and taxation — is one of the most valuable benefits an employer can offer.
🔍 The Solution
Every financial decision you make today compounds into tomorrow’s results — and your future tax liability is largely determined by the structure of your current plan.
Traditional Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERPs) are often tied to the economy and future tax rates, leaving executives uncertain about how long their retirement income will truly last.
Our enhanced SERP strategy adds a layer of security by integrating tax-exempt income benefits and protection against economic conditions, creating a reliable safety net for executives who want to secure their lifestyle and legacy.
As we like to say, hope for the best, but plan with precision for the rest.
🎥 Watch the video below to see how our leveraged SERP solutions can strengthen your long-term financial confidence.
We collaborate seamlessly with your existing advisory team to integrate this essential protection into your overall plan.

💡 Key Realities Facing Retirees
- 👥 Demographic Pressure: In 2011, the first Baby Boomers turned 65 — adding 10,000 new retirees per day, creating a growing drain on Medicare and Social Security.
- ⚖️ Shrinking Workforce Support: By 2015, there were just 3 workers per Social Security retiree, and that ratio continues to fall.
- 💰 National Debt Impact: U.S. Government Debt-to-GDP rose from 104% in 2015 to 129% by December 2022 — making future tax hikes almost inevitable.
- 📈 Inevitable Tax Increases: Deferring taxes today likely means paying more later. Future tax burdens are projected to rise sharply.
- 🔥 Inflation Risk: Price and monetary inflation — especially in essential services (7.22% in 2022) — can quietly erode purchasing power throughout retirement.
- 📉 Market Reality Check: “Average” market returns are misleading; sequence-of-returns risk can devastate future income streams.
- 💵 Withdrawal Limitations: According to Morningstar, a “safe” retirement withdrawal rate is just 2.6%–2.8% annually — meaning $1 million may generate only $28,000 per year in sustainable income.
- 🛡️ Capital Preservation Over Yield: It’s far more important to protect your principal and secure predictable returns than to chase higher but uncertain yields.
