You should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the mutual funds offered through a retirement plan, carefully before investing.

Mutual funds under a custodial or trust account agreement are intended as long‐term investments designed for retirement purposes. Money distributed from a 401(a) plan or a 457 plan will be taxed as ordinary income in the year the money is distributed. Early withdrawals from a 401(a) plan, if taken prior to age 59½, will be subject to the IRS 10% premature distribution penalty tax. This IRS premature distribution penalty tax does not apply to 457 plans. Account values fluctuate with market conditions, and when surrendered the principal may be worth more or less than the original amount invested. A group fixed annuity is an insurance contract designed for investing for retirement purposes. The guarantee of the fixed account is based on the claims‐paying ability of the issuing insurance company. Although it is possible to have guaranteed income for life with a fixed annuity, there is no assurance that this income will keep up with inflation. Money taken from the plan will be taxed as ordinary income in the year the money is distributed. An annuity does not provide any additional tax benefit, as tax deferral is provided by the Plan. Annuities may be subject to additional fees and expenses, to which other tax‐deferred funding vehicles may not be subject. However, an annuity does offer other features and benefits, such as lifetime income payments and death benefits, which may be valuable to you.
