Welcome to our online press room. Here, you'll find breaking news on KCG as well as what the media has to say about our success.
401(k) Deferred Compensation Plan KCG is a participant of Legg Mason's 401(k) plan. This gives employees the opportunity to contribute a percentage of their salary, or a specified amount, tax-free, to personal retirement accounts. KCG matches 50% of the amount that contributes up to 4% of the employee's compensation. Essentially, if you contribute 4% or more of your compensation to the plan, KCG will contribute 2% of your salary to your 401k account.

Because of our commitment and responsiveness to change, KCG will pay for Technical Training, as well as for the certification of all passed exams, to help you further develop both your technical and business related skills that you acquired in any previous education.
