Our firm is here to simplify your financial journey. With deep expertise, we help empower ConocoPhillips employees and executives to make the most of their hard-earned wealth.

Our Approach to Supporting ConocoPhillips Employees
Understanding the vast array of ConocoPhillips benefits can be daunting. Pension options tied to market rates may seem overwhelming, RSU-related tax treatment can be confusing, and timing your retirement impacts everything from vesting schedules to benefits packages.
At Quotient, we partner with you, so you don’t have to tackle this on your own. Our priority is to listen first, then to walk you through your available options in plain language.
Here’s How We Help You Make the Most of Your Benefits:
Pension Choices (Lump Sum Vs. Annuity)
We offer comprehensive projections that compare lump-sum and annuity alternatives for the ConocoPhillips Pension Plan (Title I, II, or IV). We explain how changing interest rates affect your lump sum and support you in making a well-informed decision best suited to your financial needs and longevity expectations.
Strategies for the Savings Plan & NUA
Our team helps you get the most from your ConocoPhillips Savings Plan (CPSP), including efficient after-tax contributions, Roth conversion planning, and a careful evaluation of NUA for company stock to help reduce your overall tax burden.
Managing Executive Compensation & Equity
If your compensation includes RSUs, Performance Shares, or other equity, we help clarify tax implications, vesting, and diversification strategies, maintaining a balanced portfolio while reducing concentrated risk.
Deferred Compensation Planning for ConocoPhillips
The Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan (KEDCP) of ConocoPhillips allows you to defer receipt of cash amounts from various compensation programs. We help you understand:
Deferral Options
Guidance on deferring incentive awards, restricted stock values, and salary amounts
Investment Strategies
How your deferred amounts are invested and tracked
Distribution Planning
Selecting the optimal payment schedule—whether post-retirement installments, date-certain payments, or lump sums
Tax Considerations
Minimizing tax impact through strategic deferral timing and distribution planning
Our experienced advisors will work with you to coordinate your deferred compensation with your broader retirement income strategy, ensuring your decisions align with your long-term financial goals.
Supplemental Plan Advisory
Special programs like the Key Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan (KESRP) become more potent with professional management. We can guide you through payout structures, tax ramifications, and steps to coordinate these distributions with your broader retirement income.
Health & Insurance Assessment
We review your post-retirement medical choices to help ensure a smooth transition, clarify Medicare’s interaction with company coverage, and evaluate whether your existing life insurance is aligned with your retirement needs.

Benefits We Help You Optimize
CPSP: Maximizing Your Savings Plan
Our advisors can help you optimize your contributions to capture the full 6% match with as little as 1% employee input, plus any additional discretionary contributions. We coordinate after-tax opportunities and help ensure all account strategies are working together to help you save efficiently and wisely.
01
In-Depth Pension Modeling
For participants in Title I (PRIP) and Title IV (RPC) pension plans, lump sum payouts can fluctuate with interest rates. We track these rates closely and help you time retirement for maximum value through side-by-side projections of lump-sum and annuity alternatives.
02
Taking Advantage of NUA
If you hold substantial ConocoPhillips stock in your plan, NUA might offer significant tax benefits. We carefully analyze cost-basis and potential gains to help determine whether moving company stock to a taxable account is the most beneficial move for you.
03
Implementing Mega Backdoor Roth
For higher income earners, we help you utilize after-tax contributions and Roth conversions to grow tax-free wealth within your Savings Plan, guiding you through compliance and optimizing benefits.
04
Optimizing Retirement Timing & Packages
Because your actual retirement date can impact benefit values and plan options, we provide scenario analysis so you can confidently choose your best path forward.
