What to Know. Our 401k investments are moving to the Target Trust Funds with lower fees and better performance over the last five years. |
Once a year the IRS requires that we remind our staff of all the great features provided to you in Reliant's 401K plan. This year we have some exciting news. After careful consideration and discussion with our 401K Broker, the Reliant 401K Investment Committee has decided to change our 401K Plan default investment from The Principal Lifetime Funds to the Principal Trust Target Funds.
These Trust Target funds have lower service fees due to the fact that they are Index funds (we save on fees because the funds don't have to pay investment advisors to actively manage the investment portfolios). The performance of the Target Trust funds has been comparable to the Principal Lifetime Funds. In fact, the Target Trust Funds have slightly outperformed the Principal Lifetime Funds performance average over the last 5 years.
This investment change will affect the 401K investment accounts of many Reliant missionaries. With this change, all existing 401k account balances that were previously invested in the Principal Lifetime Funds will be moved into to the Principal Trust Target Funds. The Reliant 401K Investment Committee believes this change is for the benefit of missionaries, as the new investments have a better 5 year performance track record and they cost less - which will hopefully mean your 401K account balances will thrive even more with this change.
