5 my Western Pension Plan There is no better way to save for your future than through your Western Pension Plan at Sun Life Financial. It makes saving and investing easy. Your pension savings add up Defined Contribution Pension Plan (DCPP) Your Western Pension Plan is a defined contribution plan. This means that your income at retirement is determined by the contributions that are made to your retirement account and the investment earnings that your money generates. All contributions belong to you. It is your responsibility to choose among the investments offered in the plan, and to make decisions on the investments that are most appropriate to meet your personal goals. The retirement income you will receive at retirement is not guaranteed and depends on factors including the return that is realized on the investments you choose, the length of time you are in the plan and the amount of contributions made to the plan. Tools and advice from Sun Life Financial are available as you make these decisions. Contributions to your plan Now that you have enrolled in the Western Pension Plan, you will see your regular contributions come off your pay each month, and your payroll earning statements will also show the contribution made by your employer each month. In addition to your regular contributions, if you want your savings to add up even faster, you can also make voluntary contributions up to the maximum allowed by the Income Tax Act. You may also transfer savings from your personal Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or from a previous employer s pension plan to the Western Pension Plan. Regular contributions by you and Western generally remain locked-in until you begin taking an income from the savings when you retire, while voluntary contributions can be accessed anytime. DID YOU KNOW? Western has two registered pension plans for eligible employees - one for staff members and one for faculty members. The combined market value of the plans at November 30, 2016 was approximately $1.1 billion. my work 5
6 What s in it for me? Convenience Easy to contribute: Payroll deductions make saving easy and ensure that you pay yourself first. You ll be amazed by how much you can save just by making regular contributions. Keep in mind that all contributions, by you and by Western, belong to you, no matter when you leave the plan. Easy to access: You have 24-hour access to your account through sunlife.ca/western or by phone at You can also call Sun Life Financial s Customer Care Centre at this number any business day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET. More money Lower management fees: Because of the combined buying power of Western and Sun Life Financial, you pay fees that are generally lower than what an average person would pay at a bank or mutual fund company for similarly managed funds. When you pay lower fees, more of your hard-earned money is invested and growing for you. This table shows the difference in the total amount you would save under different management fee rates, assuming you invest $4,000 each year and your plan account earns 5.75 per cent annually before the management fee* reduction. YEARS OF CONTRIBUTION TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR PLAN ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT FEE* 3% 2.5% 2% 1.5% 1% 10 years $40,000 $46,132 $47,512 $48,936 $50,406 $51, years $80,000 $105,634 $112,026 $118,870 $126,201 $134, years $120,000 $182,379 $199,625 $218,814 $240,176 $263,972 Over a 30-year career, a 0.5 per cent difference in fees (1.5% vs. 2%) means an extra $21,362 for your long-term savings. And a one per cent difference (1% vs. 2%) adds an extra $45,158 to your nest egg! $45,158 * Assuming fees charged annually at year-end and contributions are made on January 1. Exclusive investment funds only available in your Western Pension Plan: Contributions to your plan can be invested in a variety of investment funds, which have been carefully selected/designed by Western s Joint Pension Board. Professional investment managers: The funds available in the Western Pension Plan are managed by some of Canada s leading investment managers, also selected by the Joint Pension Board. Instant tax savings: Your Western Pension Plan contributions are invested on a before-tax basis so every cent gets directed to your savings. You won t need to wait until the spring to receive your tax deduction it happens immediately on each pay. No fees to transfer between investments: You can transfer money between investments at any time. There is no charge for transfers unless you make a transfer into a fund followed by a transfer out of the same fund within 30 calendar days (called short-term trading). More information can be found at sunlife.ca/western or by calling the Customer Care Centre at the number above. 6 Sun Life Financial

9 my investments Choosing the investments in your Western Pension Plan is an important decision. In a few easy steps, you re on your way. Investment options The investment choices you make can have a large impact on the growth of your retirement savings. Take the time to select the investments that are right for you. You can create your own portfolio from the list of funds in the table on the next page, choosing a mix of investment funds that match your risk profile. In addition to this broad range of investments that allows you to diversify (not put all your eggs into one basket), Western offers some specific funds that have built-in diversification and make it easier to get broad market exposure. The Balanced Income invests 70% in the Diversified Bond Segregated Fund and 30% in the Diversified Equity Segregated Fund. The Balanced Growth invests 70% in the Diversified Equity Segregated Fund and 30% in the Diversified Bond Segregated Fund. The Diversified Bond Segregated Fund invests in Canadian and non-canadian bonds and debt securities of various durations, including commercial mortgages. The Diversified Equity Segregated Fund invests in Canadian, U.S., international, global and emerging markets equities. DID YOU KNOW?
