Age-Based Profit Sharing

Individuals are encouraged to seek advice from their financial, legal, tax and other appropriate advisers before making any investment or financial decisions or purchasing any financial, securities or investment related product or service, including any product or service described in these materials. Amundi Pioneer does not provide investment advice or investment recommendations.


Age-Based Profit Sharing

Age-based plans especially appeal to business owners who are older and more highly paid than most of their employees. Like traditional profit sharing plans, employer contributions are flexible, but age-based plans allocate contributions under a formula based on both age and salary, giving older participants a higher percentage of salary than younger ones.
