LAKE MARY, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CapAcuity, a leading executive benefits consulting, investment advisory
and asset management firm, announced today that David W. Stecher has
joined the firm as Managing Director. Mr. Stecher will consult with
executive benefit plan sponsors to provide creative solutions to address
the changing executive benefit landscape. His responsibilities will also
include further expanding the firm’s distribution partnerships and
strategic initiatives.
“Dave is a recognized thought leader in the field of executive benefits,
and he and I have had a successful relationship for over 15 years,”
CapAcuity CEO Peter Cahall said. “His leadership and expertise in
non-qualified deferred compensation plans will be a tremendous asset to
our clients and partners.”
Most recently, Mr. Stecher led the consulting practice for executive
benefits of both NFP Retirement and Retirement Plan Advisory Group. His
focus was on “best practices” in contemporary plan design; plan funding,
cost controls and value generation; and communication and education.
Before joining NFP in 2010, Mr. Stecher served as executive vice
president for Retirement Capital Group; as a tax and auditing accountant
for KPMG Peat Marwick; and as EVP of West Coast operations for AXA
Advisors’ executive benefits group.
“I’m very excited to join Peter and his team at CapAcuity,” Mr. Stecher
said. “No group is better equipped to assist clients in navigating the
recent changes impacting plan sponsors and their plan participants. I
look forward to working with CapAcuity to help ensure that plan sponsors
are aware of the impact of the latest tax, regulatory, and pricing
developments affecting their plans.”
Cahall agreed, noting that the executive benefits landscape has changed
significantly—with new tax laws, reductions in investment product costs,
increased expectations for pricing transparency, and heightened focus on
regulatory compliance. “At CapAcuity, we recognize these trends and
their impact—and through the innovation and leadership of Dave and our
other team members, we can help materially improve financial results for
plan sponsors, and enhance retirement outcomes for plan participants.”
Mr. Stecher earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from the
University of Delaware, and his master’s degree in taxation from Widener
University in Philadelphia. He holds a wide range of certifications,
including CPA, CFP, CLU, and ChFC, as well as Series 6, 7, 63, 65 and 24
registrations. He is a prolific writer on industry issues, and the past
chair of numerous civic organizations.
