Newport / PLANSPONSOR NQDC Plan Trends Survey

Newport and PLANSPONSOR collaborated for the third time in 2024 to collect and analyze data from a variety of organizations that sponsor NQDC plans. This year’s NQDC survey was once again jointly developed and conducted by Newport and PLANSPONSOR and it was further refined based on feedback from previous participants to reflect the latest issues facing plan sponsors and the current best practices in plan design, investment options, communication strategies, and funding methods.

The survey aims to capture the current state and emerging developments of NQDC plans across different industries and sectors. The PLANSPONSOR Research team distributed the survey to a diverse group of organizations, including PLANSPONSOR subscribers, Fortune 1000 companies, and other large, for-profit and tax-exempt employers that provide NQDC plans to their key employees.

Data collection was performed by PLANSPONSOR and included answers from 268 unique companies and organizations. The data was analyzed for consistency by Newport and PLANSPONSOR. All company-submitted data is kept strictly confidential and only aggregate results are reported so as not to disclose any individually reported information.

If you have any questions about the findings presented here, please reach out to the Surveys team via surveys@issmediasolutions.com.
