2013 Options for Wesleyan Retirement Savings Plans

The Wesleyan University Retirement Plan Investment Committee has recently completed an extensive review of the Wesleyan Plans and investment options in light of new regulations for 403(b) Plans. To more closely monitor the funds and meet the needs of all current and future Plan participants, the fund menu will be downsized to provide a simplified yet diversified investment lineup. Effective January 3, 2013, your new investment menu (CORE Lineup Funds) will include the annuity accounts and mutual funds shown on the Core Lineup Funds link below.
           
The investment providers that will be available for both employer and employee contributions effective January 3, 2013 are TIAA-CREF and Fidelity.
           
           

Contributions will no longer be made directly to Vanguard, Dreyfus and Scudder but a Fidelity Brokerage Link is available.

Employees who are currently enrolled in these providers must contact retirementplaninvest@wesleyan.edu
 to enroll in either TIAA-CREF or Fidelity.

           
The below links contain important information regarding the changes to the Core Lineup Funds.  Please read each document carefully.  Questions regarding any of the information provided within these documents  should be addressed to retirementplaninvest@wesleyan.edu.
