1 PASTORAL CENTER: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT CHAPMAN AVENUE, GARDEN GROVE, CA NEW RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS FOR DIOCESAN PRIESTS Dear Presbyterate, The Diocese of Orange is pleased to announce the creation of a new retirement savings plan available to all active serving priests of the Diocese of Orange. The Diocese is committed to helping you prepare for the retirement you want and deserve. Beginning January 2, 2017, you will have a new way to help you supplement your retirement savings: The Diocese of Orange Priest Savings Plan. You will receive pension benefits through the Diocese of Orange Priests Pension Plan and Social Security will be part of your retirement plan too. But you will most likely need additional savings to live comfortably in retirement. Participating in the Diocese of Orange Priest Savings Plan is a convenient way to save more for your retirement. Since it is a tax-deferred savings plan, pretax contributions can be deducted automatically from your paycheck. That will lower what you owe in taxes now and puts that money to work for your future instead. Contributions can be invested according to the style and preference of your personal investment goals or retirement profile. The Diocese and their independent investment advisor, Investing for Catholics, have designed a streamlined investment menu that provides a faith-consistent way to help simplify investing decisions and offer flexibility. Together, with TIAA as recordkeeper, the plan is designed to provide you with the education, tools and resources to help you on your journey to retirement. I highly recommend all of our actively assigned diocesan priests to join this new savings plan and begin saving now for their future retirement. Sincerely, Fr. Ted Olson Chair, Priests Retirement Plan Committee CNA (11/16)

Beginning January 2, 2017, you will have a new way to help you supplement your retirement savings: The Diocese of Orange Priest Savings Plan.

Participating in the Diocese of Orange Priest Savings Plan is a convenient way to contribute more for your retirement. Since it is a tax-deferred savings plan, pretax contributions are deducted automatically from your paycheck and reduce your current taxable income. That lowers what you owe in taxes now and puts that money to work for your future instead.

4 The Diocese of Orange Priest Savings Plan offers valuable benefits: Convenience Contributions are automatically applied to your account. Tax deferral No income taxes are taken on your contributions or their earnings, until you take money out of the plan. 1 Diverse investments You can build a portfolio of professionally managed investments to suit your personal goals and risk tolerance. Pretax savings Every dollar you save is on a pretax basis, which can reduce your current taxable income. Commitment to keeping costs low The Diocese leverages their economy of scale to keep costs low so more of your money works toward your retirement. Why it s important to act now People are living longer these days. That s a good thing, but it means you ll probably need more money to cover daily expenses and healthcare when you retire. On average, Social Security will provide only 40% of the money you will need during your retirement years. 2 Time is on your side: The earlier you act, the more it can do for you. Time and compounding can significantly impact your retirement savings. Enroll today because the earlier the start, the more time and money can work through the power of compounding. It provides not only the potential for growth on the funds contributed to an account, but also the potential for growth on their earnings. And, the longer you save, the more opportunity there is for compounding to work for you.

5 What type of investor are you? You can see details about all the new investment options online at TIAA.org/ rcbo. Click on Investment Options to view the portfolios and their underlying investments as well as the individual investment information. Do you prefer to let financial professionals make some investment decisions for you? Investing for Catholics and the Diocese of Orange Retirement Investment Committee selected low-cost investment options that align with the Catholic values espoused by the Diocese. These choices include an asset allocation service that provides a complete portfolio in a single choice. You can choose an Investing for Catholics model portfolio or build your own portfolio from the plan s investment options. Strategy 1: If you would like the convenience of a complete retirement portfolio in a single choice The Investing for Catholics Portfolios, available through TIAA s Custom Portfolio Model Service, help simplify investing by providing a complete retirement portfolio in a single choice. Each model portfolio includes a professionally selected mix of investments from the plan s investment menu that corresponds to criteria developed by the Diocese of Orange in consultation with Investing for Catholics, their independent investment advisor. Investing for Catholics (IFC) provides the ongoing management and annual rebalancing to help your model stay in step with your goals. 1 The IFC Target Retirement Portfolios target a specific retirement date ranging from 2015 to As you approach the target retirement date, the investment mix gradually changes with more of your savings automatically directed to investments that help manage risk and volatility in your portfolio. The IFC Target Risk Portfolios are managed to maintain a specific level of risk: conservative, moderate or aggressive. This approach to investing takes into account your tolerance for investment risk, as well as financial principles related to risk versus reward. As your risk tolerance changes, you may want to update your risk profile and a new model may be suggested. Custom Portfolio Models share the risks associated with the types of securities held by each of the underlying funds in which they invest. For a detailed discussion of risk, consult the prospectuses of the underlying funds that make up the model. 2 Questions?
