A new era of executive compensation

As financial services firms expand and long-term incentive structures evolve, the administration of compensation schemes has become increasingly complex—leaving firms to manage fragmented data, multiple vendors, and disconnected, often dated technologies. The result: more risk, less clarity, and a participant experience that no longer matches the sophistication of the plans themselves.

Later this year, CSC will introduce its end-to-end executive compensation solution, with technology powered by Ledgy, built to meet the growing complexity of global, multi-plan incentive structures in financial services and beyond.

CSC co-developed the technology with Ledgy, contributing deep expertise in plan administration, SPV and trustee structures, and global execution. Ledgy’s modern technology layer connects every plan type—from deferred compensation and carried interest to share plans, pensions, and savings—in a single, real-time platform, built around the plans rather than the other way round.

Why technology matters now

Most executive compensation platforms force reward teams to adapt to rigid system logic. This next-generation solution will be configured around how plans actually work, no matter the complexity. Every plan type will sit on a single, modern platform: real-time data for finance and people teams, intuitive participant dashboards, and audit-ready reporting across jurisdictions including PRA-/FCA-regulated firms.

A more connected approach to executive compensation

By bringing every plan type into a single environment, organizations will gain the clarity and control modern incentive programs demand. CSC’s outsourced administration, SPV, and holding vehicle capabilities will deliver end-to-end execution across brokers, banks, and custodians—with technology powered by Ledgy connecting it all in real time.

This is more than an enhancement. It is the new era of executive compensation.

“By combining CSC’s global expertise in plan administration and SPV structuring with Ledgy’s advanced technology, we’re giving clients a more cohesive way to manage executive compensation—bringing greater clarity, consistency, and control to programs that are increasingly global in scale. This marks a significant step forward in the evolution of modern executive compensation, enabling firms to better support their employees while enhancing compliance, governance, and reporting efficiency. We bring equity, carried interest, and deferred compensation together in one single, end-to-end participant and corporate experience.”

“Reward teams have been doing extraordinary work on top of tools that were never designed for executive compensation at this scale. They reconcile, chase down data, and stitch together views across systems because the technology has not kept pace with the complexity of modern plans. That is the friction we set out to remove. Working alongside CSC, the leading provider of global business administration and compliance solutions, we are bringing share plans, carried interest, deferred compensation, and pensions into a single, real-time experience for participants and reward teams alike, and we cannot wait to put it in clients’ hands.”
