Managing Your University Retirement Plan
One of the most important financial assets you have is your university retirement plan. Over the course of your career, the university will potentially contribute thousands of dollars to your account and, of course, you will be contributing substantial sums tax-free too. Managing an investment of such significance is no small task. The university has made available nearly 200 investment choices offered by different companies. Which combination is best for you? When should you make changes or rebalance your portfolio? How can you coordinate your personal investments with your retirement plan portfolio? How should you manage risk? These are not issues you should leave to chance, especially as you get closer to retirement when risk becomes a greater concern. Yet few people have the time, knowledge or inclination to follow the investment markets and manage their wealth as closely as they should. That is why many people choose StanCorp Investment Advisers to manage their investments. We have a rigorous process, a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals to help you plan and manage your wealth and substantial back-office resources typically only found at much larger firms.
What Can We Do For You?
If you engage us to manage your University retirement plan, we will reevaluate your investment holdings at least four times per year, rebalance your portfolio, employ strategies to manage risk, measure results against a benchmark that reflects your investment policy statement and meet with you personally to review your retirement plan and answer your questions. While we do not mandate a minimum account size, we do impose a minimum fee. Consequently, most clients prefer to engage our services with a portfolio of at least $250,000.
