February 7, 2018 Re: Changes to the investment options in the Arizona University System (AUS) Retirement Plans To AUS Retirement Plan Participants: Last October the Arizona University System introduced several new investment options to the Optional Retirement Plan (ORP), Voluntary 403(b) Plan. We are writing to inform you of an additional change occurring in March 2018 that will remove some of the current investment options from the fund lineups. The ultimate goal is to create a consistent investment lineup between our retirement plans while simplifying the investment lineups so you can more easily create an asset allocation that meets your needs, both long and short term. On March 29, 2018 at the close of the market, typically 2 p.m. Mountain Time, the investment changes outlined in this guide will take place. The changes vary between TIAA and Fidelity as well as the AUS retirement plans. What Do I Need to Do? You do not need to do anything. The changes outlined in this document will occur with no action required from you. To learn more: - Please review the information for each provider and plan in which you are enrolled so you will understand how your account(s) will be affected. - Attend an informational session. Fidelity and TIAA representatives will be on site to review the changes that will be taking place. Please refer to the enclosed schedule for dates and times for your university. - Schedule a one-on-one appointment with a TIAA or Fidelity representative to review your investments and get answers to any questions you may have. You can set an appointment with Fidelity online at www.getguidance.fidelity.com. For TIAA you can set an appointment online at www.tiaa.org/arizona or call 800-842-2252. If you would like to request changes to your account with Fidelity Investments, log on to NetBenefits at www.netbenefits.com/aus or call 1-800-343-0860 Monday through Friday, between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. Mountain Time. If you would like to request changes to your account with TIAA, you can access your account online at www.tiaa.org/arizona or call 800-842-2252, weekdays from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., or Saturday, 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mountain Time. Sincerely, Arizona Board of Regents Arizona State University Northern Arizona University The University of Arizona
Your AUS Retirement Plan investment lineup as of March 30, 2018 Overview The new investment lineup will be structured in four distinct groups, or tiers. The approaches vary and are intended for investors with different levels of investment experience. They are also dependent on the level of involvement you want in managing your investment mix. Remember, any of the investment options offered by your Plan are available to you at any time so you could choose options from each tier to create an asset allocation that best fits your needs. Fund descriptions for all of the options in your Plan are available on your chosen investment provider s website. Tier 1: Target Retirement Date Funds The T. Rowe Price Retirement Date Funds (Class F in the ORP and Class I in the Voluntary 403(b) Plan) are designed for investors expecting to retire around the year indicated in each fund's name. The funds are managed to gradually become more conservative over time as they approach the target date. The investment risk of each T. Rowe Price Retirement Date Fund changes over time as the fund's asset allocation changes. The funds are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of equity and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad, and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high-yield, small-cap, and foreign securities. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the funds' target dates. If you are looking for a single fund solution you may want to consider a Target Retirement Date option. Tier 2: Passively Managed Investment Options With this approach you determine and maintain the mix of investments in your Plan account using passive index options. Passively managed funds commonly known as index funds seek to match their benchmark s performance, rather than beat their benchmark. Because the objective is to simply mirror the holdings and return of a particular index, less research is needed, transactions occur less frequently, and expenses tend to be lower than those of actively managed funds. Ultimately, index funds are designed to provide exposure to a broad selection of securities at a relatively low cost. While these funds typically perform very similarly to the index they track, you should be aware that index funds cannot be expected to meet or beat the index s performance. Tier 3: Actively Managed Investment Options With this approach you determine and maintain the mix of investments in your Plan account using actively managed funds. Actively managed funds seek to beat, or exceed, their benchmarks. The fund managers have flexibility to actively seek out investments that they believe will beat, or exceed, the performance of a particular index. Since actively managed strategies often involve a great deal of research, transactions within these funds tend to occur more frequently and expenses tend to be higher than those of passively managed funds. Tier 4: Brokerage Window Option The brokerage window provides you with an opportunity to invest in a broad range of mutual fund investment options beyond those offered directly through the Plan. The investments available through a brokerage window are not evaluated nor monitored by the Plan. It is your responsibility to ensure the investments you select are suitable for your situation, including your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. Contact your chosen provider for applicable fees and risks.
Before investing in any investment option, consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a mutual fund prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus. Contact TIAA for a mutual fund or variable annuity prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information.
