6 A holistic experience for your participants Ours is not a one-sizefits-all approach It s an experience built on the understanding that each of your participants is an individual. Our participant experience fosters engagement through a deep focus on relationship, and we believe that one-on-one consultations help participants make more informed financial decisions. Because each person has unique needs, we take the time to understand what s going on in a participant s life. This approach helps us deliver a program that is relevant to each individual s life stage, personal situation, and understanding of money and retirement planning. When it comes to advice options, we believe that a managed account service is the optimal choice for moving participants toward better outcomes. Through this service, participants can take advantage of impartial third-party advice which considers factors like expected retirement age, savings rate, risk tolerance, and fundamental life situations. For six of the last seven years, Schwab Retirement Plan Services has ranked first in the Boston Research Group Participant DCP Survey 2 (a study of major recordkeepers participant satisfaction, needs, and attitudes). 8 9
7 A managed account service to help drive outcomes What a managed account service could mean for your participants Participants who use a managed account service receive a personalized saving and investment strategy based on their specific goals and circumstances. No two participants are the same, and our position is that professional management that incorporates multiple personal data points is the most effective advice approach. Through a managed account service, participants receive a personalized savings and investment strategy based on each individual s unique set of information. The data informs each participant s retirement savings goal, recommended contribution rate, and diversification of investments. Another advantage of the service is that it helps participants strategies evolve as their lives change. With ongoing professional With a managed account service, asset allocation is based on multiple participant data points: Age Account balance Salary Contribution rate Estimated Social Security benefits Employer contribution formulas Related retirement plans State of residence Marital status Gender management, a participant s allocation is reviewed periodically throughout the year and adjustments are made as needed. Participants may also choose to work with a dedicated advice consultant to provide additional retirement-related information and further refine their strategy. 40% 87% More Wealth in Retirement Participants who use a managed account service could end up with nearly 40% more income in retirement. 3 Increased Contribution Rates After receiving guidance with a managed account service, 87% of participants increased their contribution/savings rates. 4 Better Diversification Before using a managed account service, nearly half of plan participants held three or fewer funds. Afterward, the majority held six or more funds. 5 Staying the Course Participants with a managed account service maintained appropriate equity allocations through the ups and downs of the economic cycle. When the market went up, participants who were not using the managed account service did not increase their equity allocations accordingly, potentially missing out on market gains
8 Resources and tools to help participants in all stages of life Services delivered the way your participants prefer Through multiple channels, participants can continue to work toward improving their retirement savings progress.

10 Plan Sponsor DCP Survey conducted by Boston Research Group. Nationwide study of 1, (k) plan sponsors with $5 million or more in plan assets, drawn from 401k Exchange database. Data collected April through November Ninety-eight identified themselves as having Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. or Schwab Retirement Plan Services Company as their provider. 2 DCP 2015 Participant Survey conducted by Boston Research Group. Nationwide online study of 7, (k) participants actively contributing to the plan. Data collected in May of participants identified themselves as having Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. or Schwab Retirement Plan Services Company as their provider DCP Participant Surveys conducted by Boston Research Group used similar methodology. 3 This figure represents the potential wealth increase an average 25-year-old could have at retirement when using a managed accounts service versus an average 25-year-old that did not use a managed accounts service. The analysis is based on 58,444 participants who used the Morningstar Retirement Manager SM service between January 2006 and February Participants are grouped by the age when they first implemented or received advice from Morningstar Retirement Manager and are assumed to have an initial retirement account value of $0 and a retirement age of 65. The results show that the average participant who first uses Morningstar Retirement Manager as a 25-year-old with a 0.4% annual fee could have 38.9% more than an average 25-year-old participant who did not use Morningstar Retirement Manager. Similarly, the average 45-year-old using Morningstar Retirement Manager with a 0.4% annual fee could have 23.3% more, and the average 55-year-old could have 13.8% more. The amount of additional retirement income attributed to the use of Morningstar Retirement Manager at retirement varies by age, and tends to decrease with the age the participant first uses the Morningstar Retirement Manager service. Additionally, the potential amount of additional retirement income increases as the management fee decreases; conversely, it decreases as the management fee increases. The average difference in the saving rate before and after using Morningstar Retirement Manager is calculated for each age group. The savings rate was applied to an assumed median income value for each age group. In a similar manner, the average difference in portfolio investment return before and after using Morningstar Retirement Manager was calculated for each age group. Six different annual fee levels (0.0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1.0%) for the Morningstar Retirement Manager advice service were analyzed, and the fee was applied to the average portfolio balance for each age group on an annual basis. The final account value for each age group at retirement age was then compared for each annual fee level. This analysis does not account for all portfolio costs, such as fees, taxes, or expenses other than the annual account fee. If included, they would lower the potential amount of additional retirement income at retirement shown in this analysis. In no way should the results of this analysis be considered indicative or a guarantee of the future performance of an actual client using Morningstar Retirement Manager or considered indicative of the actual performance achieved by actual participants that have used Morningstar Retirement Manager. Actual results of participants that use Morningstar Retirement Manager may differ substantially from the results shown here and may include an individual participant incurring a loss. Morningstar Investment Management LLC does not guarantee that the results of their advice, recommendations, or the objectives of Morningstar Retirement Manager will be achieved. 4 The Impact of Expert Guidance on Participant Savings and Investment Behaviors, Working Paper (David Blanchett, August 2014). The percentage of participants that increased their savings deferral rates is determined by comparing each participant s savings deferral rate prior to and after using the Morningstar Retirement Manager service. Participants who increased their savings deferral rate after using Morningstar Retirement Manager are included in this data point. 5 The Impact of Expert Guidance on Participant Savings and Investment Behaviors, Working Paper (David Blanchett, August 2014). For purposes of this study, do-it-yourself participants (those mentioned as not previously using the Morningstar Retirement Manager advice and managed accounts service) are defined as those who have an allocation of 20% or less to an investment classified as an allocation (such as a target-date) fund by Morningstar, Inc. prior to using Morningstar Retirement Manager. The portfolio asset allocations held by participants prior to using Morningstar Retirement Manager were classified by investment type and those meeting the definition of a do-it-yourself investor s portfolio were analyzed to determine number of funds held in the portfolio. 6 The Impact of Expert Guidance on Participant Savings and Investment Behaviors, Working Paper (David Blanchett, August 2014). Average equity allocations of participants prior to using Morningstar Retirement Manager were analyzed from May 2007 to February 2014 and compared to the value of the S&P 500 Index. 7 The My Retirement Progress percentage is calculated by Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc. (SRPS) based on and using the data formulated by independent registered investment advisers GuidedChoice Asset Management, Inc. ( GuidedChoice ) or Morningstar Investment Management LLC, a subsidiary of Morningstar, Inc. GuidedChoice or Morningstar Investment Management formulates and provides estimated monthly income projections in retirement using savings and investment data and assumptions which include, but are not limited to, current retirement plan balance and savings rate, projected date of and estimated years in retirement, and estimated replacement income. SRPS cannot alter or influence any of the calculations that GuidedChoice or Morningstar Investment Management provides. SRPS then uses the projections formulated by GuidedChoice or Morningstar Investment Management to express the potential gap in retirement savings as a percentage that is made available as part of the retirement plan record keeping and related services provided by SRPS. GuidedChoice and Morningstar Investment Management are not affiliated with or agents of SRPS; Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., a federally registered investment advisor; or their affiliates. Projections and other information regarding the likelihood of various retirement income and/or investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual results, and are not guarantees of future results.
