The site currently is not compatible with Vanguard so
employees
using Vanguard may manage other currently approved
vendors through this site but must work individually with the central
office for issues pertaining to their Vanguard 403(b) issues.
- Vanguard Funds -- Company website with information about personal and retirement investing. Vanguard is an approved 403(b) vendor as of May 8, 2008. Currently, Vanguard WILL allow Roth 403(b) contibutions and WILL accept matching employer contributions. Mutual fund investments are not guaranteed by the US government and they can lose value, but they can provide very good long term returns for retirement investments. Vanguard will allow you to move funds between their own funds at any time but there may be fees imposed by Vanguard or by the US government for removing funds prior to retirement. This choice is probably best for the independent investor. They have lower overall costs, but do not provide the level of support provided by a broker backed vendor.
- ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company -- ING provids a number of fixed and variable annuity options as investment vehicles. Some ING plans WILL allow Roth 403(b) contributions and WILL accept matching employer contributions. Investors can select between fixed yield options and a variety of mutual fund options. Mutual fund investments are not guaranteed by the US government and they can lose value, but they can provide very good long term returns for retirement investments. Early redemption fees may be imposed by ING or by the US government for removing funds prior to retirement or prior to a stated period of time. Approved 4/14/2009. Their site has a lot of good information along with some helpful retirement planning tools. This is a broker backed vendor and offers more personalized direction that companies such as Vanguard. They are probably a better choice for individuals desiring to have more specific guidance with their choices.
- Forrest T Jones (FTJ) -- Main Missouri Educators Web Site. Once logged in you can view your benefits and set up an individual account. FTJ was approved as a 403(b) vendor on July 10, 2008. They offer two main products, Tax Vantage Annuity and FTJ Funds Choice. Mutual fund investments are not guaranteed by the US government and they can lose value, but they can provide very good long term returns for retirement investments. Early redemption fees may be imposed by FTJ or by the US government for removing funds prior to retirement or prior to a stated period of time. (Frozen as of May 30, 2009)
- T
Rowe Price -- we were not able to work out an arrangement with T Rowe
Price that would allow them to be part of our current 403(b) plan
offerings.
