    Fee Leveling • Gradual employer movement to implement a “fee leveling structure” within retirement plans

    • Equalizes plan administrative costs across all participants

    For illustrative purposes only

    To reduce fund expenses, Oakland County has negotiated fund revenue sharing credits for most of the funds available in your plan. This means that after fund expenses are charged to the fund (Total Investment Expense Ratio), the fund provides credit to the plan (Fund Revenue Sharing Credit), and the plan passes the lower cost to you (Fund Expense After Credit). The table illustrates the investment fee structure where the Total Investment Expense Ratio minus the Fund Revenue Sharing Credit equals the Fund Expense After Credit or your cost

    PresenterPresentation NotesWe’ve seen a gradual movement to implement a fee leveling structure by employers within retirement plans. This fee levelization equalized admin costs across all plan participants. Oakland County has utilized fund revenue sharing credits in most of the fund options to get the lowest net costs per fund available. This table illustrates how fund revenue sharing credits work. Total Investment Expense Ratio minus the Fund Revenue Sharing Credit equals the Fund Expense After Credit, or your cost.

    PresenterPresentation Notes[If anything on slide is altered, please identify in this bracketed box what has been changed and submit module only for compliance approval. Do not submit entire presentation unless changes are being made to more than one module.]Once you decide to join your plan, your contributions are automatically deducted from your pay. This means you don’t have to do anything. You don’t see it, you don’t miss it, and you don’t spend it. The result is an easier way to save that’s automated and helps you set aside money for a more secure retirement.When you invest on your own outside of your retirement plan, there is a wide variety of investment options for you to choose from. For individuals who love to research and find new investments, it is a great option. For most of us, that means that there is an overwhelming amount of information to sort through to choose our own investments. But, as we’ve seen earlier in the presentation with your retirement plan, your employer (if they have an advisor include them) has already narrowed that universe down for you, giving you a much more manageable list of options to choose from. And another key advantage of your retirement plan is that it can reduce your current taxes when saving with pre-tax contributions. Pre-tax saving results in your ability to save more today for your retirement tomorrow—because you don’t pay income taxes on your contributions and their investment earnings until you withdraw your money.This information has been provided for your benefit and is not intended or designed to be tax advice.

    How to invest in the plan

    Choose from your plan’s fund lineup

    GoalMaker & Target-date

    funds

    PresenterPresentation NotesThere’s a lot to think about—and do—when it comes to your retirement investments…Luckily, with your plan, you have options!

    Many of you want to choose your own investments. The good news is that your plan has a great lineup of investments to choose from.

    But for those who want a little help, that’s available, too — thanks to the plan’s [optional asset allocation tool, GoalMaker,] [and] [asset allocation funds].

  • 11 11

    What is a target-date fund?

    The target date is the approximate date when investors plan to retire and may begin withdrawing their money. The asset allocation of the target date funds will become more conservative as the target date approaches by lessening your equity exposure and increasing your exposure in fixed income investments. The principal value of an investment in a target date fund is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. There is no guarantee that the fund will provide adequate retirement income. A target-date fund should not be selected solely based on age or retirement date. Before investing, participants should carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses, as well as their age, anticipated retirement date, risk tolerance, other investments owned, and planned withdrawals. The stated asset allocation may be subject to change. It is possible to lose money in a target date fund, including losses near and following retirement. Investments in the funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency or instrumentality.

    PresenterPresentation NotesYour plan offers target-date investments.

    Target date investments can make investing a bit easier. These funds were created to do the investment work for you. Each fund’s investment strategy is based on a specific retirement date and invests in a mix of stocks and bonds. The farther the targeted date is from its set date of retirement, the higher the percentage of investments in stocks versus bonds. As the fund gets closer to its targeted retirement date, the underlying investment allocation in each target-date fund will automatically rebalance to a more conservative approach. The investments shift from a higher percentage of stocks gradually to a higher percentage in bonds.

    Despite these features, there are a number of important considerations when choosing a target-date fund. Don’t just focus solely on the age or date you intend to retire. Instead, you should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any fund before investing. Look at the investment mix of the fund to see if it corresponds to your personal investment strategy.

    It is possible to lose money in a fund — including near or even in retirement — and there is no guarantee that the funds will provide adequate retirement income. Your investment is not guaranteed. The Funds’ asset allocations may be subject to change.

    How GoalMaker works

    Tell us: • Your investor style • When you will retire and begin withdrawing from your account

    You get: • Automatic asset allocation • Automatic rebalancing • Automatic age adjustment

    GoalMaker’s model allocations are based on generally accepted financial theories that take into account the historic returns of different asset classes. But, of course, past performance of any investment does not guarantee future results. Participants should consider their other assets, income and investments (e.g. equity in a home, Social Security benefits, individual retirement plan investments, etc.) in addition to their interest in the plan, to the extent those items are not taken into account in the model. Participants should also periodically reassess their GoalMaker investments to make sure their model portfolio continues to correspond to their changing attitudes and retirement time horizon. Keep in mind that application of asset allocation and diversification concepts does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. It is possible to lose money by investing in securities.

    PresenterPresentation Notes[If anything on slide is altered, please identify in this bracketed box what has been changed and submit module only for compliance approval. Do not submit entire presentation unless changes are being made to more than one module.]Your plan offers GoalMaker. GoalMaker is an optional asset allocation tool offered to you at no additional cost. It takes care of choosing the investments for you. To create your portfolio, GoalMaker uses two simple pieces of information: your expected retirement age and your investor style – which is based on how you feel about investing – to guide you to an investment portfolio made up of the investments available in your plan.

When approaching retirement, many people become more conservative in their investment style and approach. If you elect the Age Adjustment feature within GoalMaker, your portfolio will automatically adjust to become more conservative. The portfolios start with a higher percentage invested in stocks versus bonds and stable value. As you get closer to retirement, the portfolios begin to increase the amount invested in stable value and bonds and decrease the amount invested in stocks.As you can see on the screen, these portfolio adjustments begin at 15 years to retirement, and continue at 10 years and 5 years to retirement.

    Important Information about your Stable Value Fund The VT Plus Fund and T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund A will stay with previous recordkeeper

    • These funds will be closed to new contributions, effective March 28, 2018.

    • New contributions directed to these funds will go to the Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund, the new stable value option.

    • As the investments in the VT Plus Fund & T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund A mature, those assets will transfer to the Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund in September 2018.

    PresenterPresentation NotesIMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PLANS’ STABLE VALUE OPTIONYour ongoing contributions to the VT Plus Fund and the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common TrustFund A will be invested into the Guaranteed Income Fund (GIF) upon the transition to Prudential.However, your existing balance in the VT Plus Fund and the T. Rowe Price Stable Value CommonTrust Fund A will not move into the GIF until approximately September 2018. These delays arenecessary to satisfy contractual obligations with both ICMA and Fidelity.Although no new contributions will be accepted into the VT Plus Fund and the T. Rowe Price StableValue Common Trust Fund A, you will still have the ability to move your existing balances from theVT Plus Fund and the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund A directly into most of theother funds that are offered in your plan whenever you like. The exception will be the GIF since it’sconsidered a competing fund.Since these investments are stable value investments, a “competing funds” scenario will existwhile they are part of your plan, making them subject to a “90-day equity wash” provision.This provision prohibits direct transfers between competing funds for 90 days. Therefore, transfersdirectly out of the VT Plus Fund and the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund A into theGIF are not permitted. If you want to transfer these assets, they would first have to be directedto another noncompeting fund option available in your plan for 90 days before they could betransferred to the GIF.

    (part of mutual fund’s annual expense ratio) to transparent flat administration fee.

    no surprises

    PresenterPresentation Notes[Only read sections that are applicable to transition]There’s also some great news to share about plan fees, which are being reduced. Like most retirement plans, the cost of administering the retirement program is reflected in an annual administrative account fee and the investment’s expense ratios.We have negotiated reduced expense ratios on the investment options now available. In addition, there will be a transparent asset-based administrative fee of .X%, which you’ll see deducted from your account quarterly.

    Income Base (IB) Unlike Market Value, the Income Base is never available for withdrawals

    The Income Base is used to calculate the benefit and cannot be withdrawn or transferred. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the insurance company and are subject to certain limitations, terms, and conditions. Withdrawals or transfers (other than transfers between IncomeFlex Target Funds) proportionately reduce guaranteed values prior to locking in. After Lock-In, withdrawals in excess of the lifetime annual withdrawal amount will reduce future guaranteed withdrawals proportionately and may eliminate them.

    PresenterPresentation Notes[If anything on slide is altered, please identify in this bracketed box what has been changed and submit module only for compliance approval. Do not submit entire presentation unless changes are being made to more than one module.]IncomeFlex Target is an investment option within your plan, but it has some added features which help you accumulate assets on your journey to retirement and convert those assets into guaranteed income. To do this, the fund tracks two key values—Market Value and Income Base. Your Market Value is a daily value that is not guaranteed and fluctuates based on fund performance and market volatility. It works like the market value of every fund in your plan’s line up. The market value is the value of the fund that you own, and is the value that can be passed on to your beneficiaries as a death benefit. The second value is the Income Base. The income base is a tracking value that is used to calculate the guaranteed retirement income benefit. Because this is a tracking value it can not be used for withdrawals, nor can the value be transferred to your beneficiary. All guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the insurance company and are subject to certain limitations, terms, and conditions. When you initially invest in IncomeFlex Target, the initial amount is called the Income Base, this value is the same as the market value. Your Income Base will increase with each additional contribution and any transfers into the fund. The market value will fluctuate daily like all other investments within your plan.In addition, every year on your birthday, Prudential will look at the market value on that date of IncomeFlex Target fund. If the market value is higher than the current value of the Income Base, your income base will be increased to reflect any gains from fund performance. If on your birthday, the market value is lower due to declining markets result and negative performance, the Income Base is protected and will not go down. If you make any withdrawals or transfers out of the IncomeFlex Target fund into any other fund, the Income Base guarantees will be proportionately reduced prior to locking in and may even be eliminated. Remember, you own the market value of the IncomeFlex Target Fund. This is not a guaranteed value and will fluctuate with market volatility. The market value is the amount that can be given to your beneficiaries as a death benefit.

    Guaranteed income (Lifetime annual withdrawals)

    *Actual withdrawal percentage based on your age (and your spouse’s, if applicable) at Lock-In. After Lock-In, withdrawals in excess of the lifetime annual withdrawal amount will reduce guarantees proportionately and may even eliminate them.

    The Market Value of IncomeFlex Target fund is not guaranteed at any time and will fluctuate with market volatility. It is possible to lose money investing in securities.

    PresenterPresentation Notes[If anything on slide is altered, please identify in this bracketed box what has been changed and submit module only for compliance approval. Do not submit entire presentation unless changes are being made to more than one module.]The tracking of the market value and income base value continues until you decide to retire and begin drawing income in retirement. On the day you decide to Lock-In and start drawing income payments, Prudential will look at your Market Value and Income Base values of the IncomeFlex Target fund as of the previous business day. The higher of the two values will be used to calculate your guaranteed retirement payments. If the Market Value is of higher value, the Income Base will be automatically adjusted to match the Market value.This final Income Base is used to determine your lifetime guaranteed annual withdrawal amount. Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC) guarantees that you can withdraw this amount each year for the rest of your life. Unlike the Market Value, which is available as cash or lump sum, the amount reflected as the your Income Base is never available as a withdrawal.Even if a declining market performance or your annual guaranteed withdrawals reduce the Market Value to zero dollars, PRIAC will continue to pay your lifetime annual withdrawal amount for as long as you live (and your spouse, if applicable).The amount you can withdrawal annually is based on your age and whether you decide to cover a spouse. If you are 65 without the spousal benefit, you can withdraw 5% of your Income Base. If you’re younger when you start making withdrawals, your annual withdrawal percentage will be less; if you’re older, your annual withdrawal percentage will be higher. Regardless, this amount is guaranteed for life.Your guaranteed withdrawal amount can go up due to strong fund performance on your birthday. But it can’t go down, unless of course you withdraw more than the guaranteed income. For more information, please refer to the IncomeFlex Important Considerations Document.

    How much does it cost?

    Just like other funds in your plan Typical investment management expenses apply

    In exchange for guarantees An additional fee of 1% is assessed for the portion invested in IncomeFlex Target

    Prudential IncomeFlex Funds are separate accounts under group variable annuity contracts issued by Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC), Hartford, CT. PRIAC does not guarantee the investment performance or return on contributions to those separate accounts. You should consider the objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Funds and guarantee features before purchasing this product. Like all variable investments, these funds may lose value. Availability and terms may vary by jurisdiction, subject to regulatory approvals. Annuity contracts contain exclusions, limitations, reductions of benefits and terms for keeping them in force. Contract form # GA-2020-IA-0805 or state variation.

    PresenterPresentation Notes[If anything on slide is altered, please identify in this bracketed box what has been changed and submit module only for compliance approval. Do not submit entire presentation unless changes are being made to more than one module.]You might be thinking that IncomeFlex Target is too good to be true. There must be a catch. There is no catch, but these guarantees are not free. So, how much does it cost?Just like every other fund in your plan, IncomeFlex Target has typical investment management expenses.To provide you with these guarantees, there is an additional fee of [1%] that is assessed for the portion of your account that is invested in IncomeFlex Target.

    Other Questions you may have:

    • What will happen to my loan?

    • What will happen to my Self-directed Brokerage account?

    • Can I take an emergency withdrawal during the quiet period?

    • Will I have to establish a new password for my online account?

    PresenterPresentation NotesWhat will happen to my loan repayments during and after the transition?If you have a loan, your remaining balance will transfer to Prudential, and payments will continuethrough your current payment method. If your payments are made via payroll deduction, thesepayments will continue through the quiet period. If your payments are made via ACH, these paymentswill be deducted in the first week of April.

    I have a self-directed brokerage account. What will happen to the assetsin that account?If you currently have a self-directed brokerage account, it will be transferred in-kind to Prudential,meaning your investments are re-registered and not liquidated, and your cost basis, or purchaseprice, transfers as well.* You will receive a separate package regarding that account in the mailfrom Prudential within a week which outlines the plan provisions. Please read the informationcarefully and remit the necessary documentation in the time requested.

    Please note, some positions may not transfer to Prudential as Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (PIMS) does not accept equities under $0.25 pershare, equities with a market cap under $25 million, or any other equities in escrow, bankruptcy or in a worthless (de minimus) status.

    Designate or update beneficiary

    Have ready beneficiary’s: • Address • Birthday • Social Security number

    PresenterPresentation NotesWith respect to your beneficiary designation, that information will not automatically transfer to Prudential from [prior provider]. And that matters because your retirement account assets can not be distributed according to a will. To ensure that—should something happen to you—your money goes to the right person, you must designate them as your account beneficiary.So it’s important for you to log in to your account to record your beneficiary designation. I will show you how to log in to your new account in just a moment.
