The Wise Choice for Public Employees Offered by the NPPFA

1

Welcome to THE WISE CHOICE FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES!

The National Public Pension Fund Association has been created by fellow public sector workers to

assist our fellow brothers and sisters in achieving their retirement goals. As an association of Public

Sector Employees responsible for managing pension fund assets, we have created the ‘THE WISE

CHOICE FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES’ - a 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan, to make sure that the

public sector employee had access to a supplemental savings plan that was created in their best

interests, not the interests of the sales person, broker or insurance company. This plan was built by

pooling the buying power of thousands of public sector employers from across the country.

The National Public Pension Fund Association believes that no employee should have to pay higher

fees or receive less service because they work for a small or medium size public employer or one

who has not performed due diligence in vendor selection. Our plan offers the same pricing and plan

design to all public employees, regardless of size.

From the day you’re hired THE WISE CHOICE FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES will support you through each

stage of the retirement planning process. Whether you’re starting to save for the first time or already

participating in the plan THE WISE CHOICE FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES will be with you every step of

the way. We encourage you to invest in yourself and your future by participating in THE WISE CHOICE

FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES through Transamerica Retirement Solutions.

Transamerica Retirement Solutions is a firm dedicated exclusively to providing retirement savings

plans. Transamerica is a subsidiary of AEGON. AEGON is a 170 year old company with nearly $800

billion dollars of assets under management.

Please read through this booklet so you can better understand

this valuable program. Be sure to enroll as soon as possible

so you can begin maximizing this valuable benefit.

What is a 457(b) plan?A 457(b) plan is a supplemental savings program that allows you to defer current compensation until after severance of employment or until retirement. It is also known as “Deferred Compensation.” The primary use of a 457(b) deferred compensation plan is for public sector employees to supplement their pensions and to improve their retirement lifestyle. Contributions are payroll deducted prior to the calculation of withholding taxes and are not part of your W-2 taxable income. These funds grow tax deferred.

Taxation of distributions at separation of service All funds withdrawn are taxed upon withdrawal as ordinary income. There is no 10% excise tax on distributions made after separation of service from 457(b) plans, regardless of age.

457(b) Eligibility You are immediately eligible to participate in the plan.

How much can I contribute?You may choose to make contributions up to the maximum allowed by law. The annual IRS dollar limit of $18,000 applies for 2017. This limit is indexed annually by the IRS.If you are age 50 or older (or you reach age 50 during the current calendar year), you can make additional catch-up contributions up to $6,000 in 2017.

In the three calendar years prior to the year of retirement with a pension that is not actuarially reduced, you may be eligible to use the “alternative catch up rule.” This may allow you to double your maximum contributions by using prior unused contribution limits. Police and Fire may be able to access this provision as early as 47; IMRF participants at age 52 under certain circumstances but normally at 57. This provision may not be used concurrently with the age 50 catch up.

What do I do with money in another 457(b) plan?If you have an existing retirement plan account with a prior employer, you may roll over that account into this plan at any time. Consolidating your retirement accounts makes it easier for you to make sure your investment strategy is on track for meeting your retirement goals. Please see “What should I do with my ‘other’ retirement and supplemental savings plan assets?” section at the end of this section.

Vesting Vesting refers to your "ownership" of your account. You are always 100% vested in your contributions to this plan.

Access t o funds while employedThere are two ways to access your funds while you are employed (in-service access): loans or hardships

Loans You may borrow from the plan, using your account as security (conditions and restrictions may apply). All loans with a same employer plan are aggregated for these limits. You must count both your The Wise Choice for Public Employees and another other 457(b) through your current employer together for his purpose.

Minimum loan amount: $1,000

Maximum loan amount: 50% of your vested account balance, up to $50,000

General loan interest rate: Prime

Maximum general loan term: 5 years. If for primary residence, then the loan may be amortized over 15 years.

Loan Origination fee: A one-time set-up fee of $75 per loan that is deducted from the loan distribution.

Maximum number of outstanding loans: 3

Withdrawals Vested funds may be withdrawn from your plan account in these events:

Termination of employment or retirement (any age*)

Unforeseeable emergency – “Hardship” (as defined by IRS Regulations)

Disability

Death

Distributions must begin no later than the latter of attainment of age 70½ or retirement. Please see your Plan Administrator for additional important information about your future distribution election.

*There is no 10% excise tax on distributions made after separation of service from 457(b) plans, regardless of age.

Roth 457 You may make all or a portion of your contribution as an after-tax Roth contribution. The funds will grow tax free. Distributions are received tax free as long as the funds were in the plan for five years and the withdrawal is taken after age 59½.

Each employer must activate a payroll slot for this purpose. Check with your employer to see if Roth 457 is available in your jurisdiction.

Expenses The Wise Choice for Public Employees includes no annual account fee, no wrap fees, and no contingent deferred sales charges. The participant will pay only the fee listed on the fund sheets. If the participant exercises Schwab Personal Choice Retirement Account® (PCRA), there is a $50 annual fee imposed by Charles Schwab.

Schwab Personal Choice Retirement Account® (PCRA) Schwab PCRA is a not a mutual fund but rather a participant self-directed brokerage account maintained at

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Participants must individually apply for PCRA and are solely responsible for their

fund selections made under the PCRA. Commissions and transaction fees may apply to fund trades placed

outside of the Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource® program or trades on other investment vehicles available

through Schwab. An annual fee of $50 will be applied by Transamerica if you invest in the Schwab PCRA.

Securities purchased through the PCRA are available through Charles Schwab & Co. Inc., (Member SIPC).

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. is not affiliated with Transamerica Retirement Solutions.

subject to certain restrictions. The available investment options are presented as follows in groups to illustrate

the applicable transfer restrictions.

Beneficiary Designation It is necessary that you designate a beneficiary so that your assets can be distributed according to your wishes upon your death. Otherwise funds will be distributed according to state statute.

What should I do with my “other” retirement and supplemental savings plan assets?If you have a 457(b) with your current or prior employer, a 403(b) account with a prior employer, a 401(k) or Pension with a prior employer you may wish to investigate the possible advantages of consolidating your assets. If you have an IRA, you may also want to consider consolidating that account into The Wise Choice Plan. There is no tax penalty to consolidate your prior retirement and supplemental savings assets into The Wise Choice for Public Employees. There may be fees imposed by your current vendor. Please contact NPPFA Benefits at 1-866-994-6312 or your account representative for personalized assistance on determining if consolidation of your current plans is in your best interest.

Some vendors require their paperwork in addition or instead of ours. We will help you with the other company’s paperwork.

Can I use these funds to purchase pension service credit? Yes, this is called a permissive service credit. You may use both 457(b) and 403(b) fund for this purpose. It is a direct transfer to your governmental pension. If you want to pursue this option, contact the appropriate Pension Fund to obtain a service purchase quote. Then call NPPFA Benefits at 1-866-944-6312 to initiate the transfer of funds in the required amount.

The NPPFA Story

The National Public Pension Fund Association (NPPFA) was created and modeled after the National Association of Pension Funds (now called Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association) located in the United Kingdom. NPPFA is the National Public Pension Funds Association and is a non-profit association that offers low cost benefit programs to public sector employees. Nationally there is a strong need for supplemental retirement programs delivered at a low cost and that also provide participants with financial advice and guidance.

The NPPFA 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan was formed to incorporate best practice plan design and pricing to help public sector employees, regardless of size, achieve greater retirement plan account balances. This plan was built by pooling the buying power of hundreds of local units of government in the United States with a single vendor. NPPFA believes no employee should have less money at retirement just because they work for an employer that does not have the size to negotiate large case pricing. The two largest 457 vendors have multiple pricing schemes. The NPPFA 457(b) has a single price and that price has come down as the co-op has increased in size.

By pooling the buying power of local units of government, NPPFA has been able to negotiate a program that normally would require a single employer to have 100 million dollars in assets available for deposit into the plan before this fee structure would be available. Within the core funds, The Wise Choice Plan provides total delivered pricing from 0.00% – 1.55% annually. The plan also includes a Fixed/Stable Value Fund without the typical liquidity restrictions. Since the inception of The Wise Choice Plan in September of 2001, the plan has saved participants over $16 million dollars in fees. Currently, there are over 145 units of government participating in the co-op with over $300 million in assets as of November 2016.

The Wise Choice Deferred Compensation plan has been designed to emphasize employee education and was created with easy to understand enrollment materials. The NPPFA program has investment options for each type of investor. For those who want complete management, including asset allocation, the plan contains a managed account called Portfolio Express and is provided to all of our participants at no additional fee.

For the investor who wants to “do it themselves” the plan has the Schwab PCRA account which provides the investor the opportunity to invest their money using the Schwab platform. Within this platform, participants can choose from over 4,800 funds and 150 Exchange Traded Funds. The PCRA option includes fund families such as Fidelity, Vanguard and American Funds.

How Much Do I need to save to accumulate $1,000,000 by age 65

Determine Your Savings Goal

How much income can you expect from Social Security? Request your estimate at ssa.gov or 800-772-1213.

You may need more income than you think.

The income you'll need in retirement depends greatly on your circumstances, including your age, health, income, investments, and savings. Based on today's average life expectancy, you may need your nest egg to last for 20 years or more. And don't forget about rising health care costs. In fact, a leading study estimates that you may need 77% to over 94% of your final preretirement income to maintain your lifestyle after your regular paychecks stop.(1)

Most of your income will come from you.

Social Security covers only about 37%* of the average retiree's income, and fewer employers offer traditional pension plans. In reality, most of your retirement income will likely come from your own savings, part-time employment in retirement, or both. If your goal is to live comfortably and work less in retirement, you need to start saving today.

*Fast Facts & Figures About SocialSecurity, 2011.Total does not necessarily equal 100%due to rounding.

Choose your tax treatment.

You can save with traditional pre-tax contributions, after-tax Roth contributions, or a combination of both. Pre-tax savings give you tax benefits right away and could make contributing more cost less than you think. Roth savings could pay off down the road, when you might be in a higher income tax bracket. Our online calculators can help you decide which strategy makes sense for you.

Aim for a perfect 10.

Try to save at least 10% of your pay for retirement. If that seems like too much now, start smaller by putting away about 5%, then raise your rate gradually by, say, 1% a year on your birthday. That's a gift that keeps on growing!You should evaluate your ability to continue saving in the event of a prolonged market decline, unexpected expenses, or an unforeseeable emergency.

Select one fund that maintains a diversified mix.Asset allocation funds are diversified funds that offer a range of investment mixes depending on your comfort level with risk and how long you have until you retire. The funds range from short-term, conservative options that invest more of their assets in bonds to long-term, aggressive options that invest more of their assets in stocks. These funds do not change their asset allocation to become more conservative over time.

You can select an asset allocation fund based on your desired risk level and/or years until retirement. Asset allocation funds are subject to the risks of the underlying funds in which they invest. To the extent the fund invests more of its assets in stock investments; it will be subject to greater risk than a fund investing more of its assets in bond funds.

By establishing a PCRA you assume responsibility for controlling your investments. For more information on establishing and maintaining a PCRA, please call Transamerica at 800-755-5801.

You must individually apply for PCRA and are solely responsible for your fund selections made under the PCRA.

PLAN COSTS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Astute investors consider total fees an important criterion in selecting investment providers. To adequately compare the fees on your Supplemental Savings options (403(b) & 457(b)), you may wish to do a total fee analysis by:

Finding out if the plans or investments under consideration have fees other than those calculated as part of the expense ratio on the investment(s)

Add that number, if any, to the expense ratio on the investment(s) to determine Total Expenses

Determine if there is a "fee differential" in your options and make a judgment if there is value received for that differential in performance, additional contract features or service.

Many Supplemental Savings do not build their plan operational costs into the expense ratios on the investments. They may have additional fees. These are generically referred to as "wrap fees" and they may include one or more of the following charges*:

Administrative Fee • Mortality and Expense Charge

Variable Expense Charge • Mortality and Administration Charge

Actuarial Risk Charge

These charges are taken out daily in the calculation of unit values and cannot be seen on a statement. The disclosure may be in the master contract, prospectus or other disclosure material and can be hard to find.

NOTICE AND WAIVER OF PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVOR BENEFIT(IF SPOUSE IS NOTPRIMARY BENEFICIARY)

As a plan participant, the law requires that you be informed as to the disposition of your account. In the case of your death before retirement, the

plan will pay your full vested account balance to your surviving spouse. However, you may elect to waive the requirement that your death benefit

be paid to your surviving spouse. Your spouse must consent in writing to any such waiver. You may revoke any waiver at any time before your death,

and, if you desire, make a new election, provided your spouse consents to this new election. If you elect that your spouse is not to be your

beneficiary for your full vested account balance (and your spouse has consented}, then you may designate a beneficiary of your choosing. If you are

not married at the time of your death, the death benefit will be paid to your designated beneficiary.

I have been informed that if I should die prior to my retirement, I have the right to have the full vested account balance in the plan paid to my spouse; that I have the right to waive the designation of my spouse as the beneficiary of all or a portion of my death benefit only if my spouse consents to such waiver; and that I have the right to revoke such waiver at any time without my spouse's consent. I hereby waive the right to have my spouse be the beneficiary of all or a portion of my pre-retirement death benefit. Instead, I designate the above beneficiary(ies) to receive all or a portion of the benefits upon my death.

Transfer Requirements

I. Incoming 403(b) Contract Exchange Request

Under the existing IRS Contract Exchange rules, your 403(b) account or annuity may be transferred to another investment provider for the same

403(b) plan, provided certain requirements are met.

(1) The 403(b) plan sponsored by your employer must permit such contract exchanges and (2) the investment provider receiving the transfer must be

an approved investment provider under your employer’s 403(b) plan or such provider must have entered into an information-sharing agreement with

your employer.

Any 403(b) funds transferred to Transamerica from another 403(b) investment provider for your employer’s 403(b) plan must continue to be subject

to distribution restrictions that are not less stringent than those imposed on the contract being exchanged.

Any 403(b) funds transferred to Transamerica under a 403(b) Contract Exchange will retain their December 31, 1986 and/or December 31, 1988

grandfathered status, (if applicable) provided the necessary information is timely provided to Transamerica by your present investment provider in

the section provided on Transamerica’s Incoming Contract Exchange (within the Same Plan), in accordance with the instructions on that form.

II. Incoming 403(b) Plan-to-Plan-Transfer Request to Transamerica from Another 403(b) Plan

If your current 403(b) account or annuity is under a different 403(b) plan than the 403(b) plan of your present employer (or former employer), and the

receiving plan is serviced by Transamerica, please complete the Incoming 403(b) Plan-to-Plan Transfer (from another 403(b) Plan) in accordance

with the instructions on that form.

In order to allow for a Plan-to-Plan Transfer to occur, both the 403(b) transferor plan and the receiving plan that is serviced by Transamerica must

provide for a Plan-to-Plan Transfer.

In order to allow for a Plan-to-Plan Transfer to occur, the funds transferred to Transamerica from another 403(b) plan must continue to be subject to

distribution restrictions that are not less stringent than those imposed under the transferor 403(b) plan.

Any 403(b) funds transferred to Transamerica under a 403(b) Plan-to-Plan Transfer will retain their December 31, 1986 and/or December 31, 1988

section provided on Transamerica’s Incoming Plan-to-Plan Transfer (from another 403(b) Plan), in accordance with the instructions on that form.

Important Note: Some 403(b) plans are subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). You cannot

transfer 403(b) assets from an ERISA-covered 403(b) plan to a non-ERISA 403(b) plan except by a direct rollover, which requires a distributable

event (e.g., termination of employment). If you transfer 403(b) assets from a non-ERISA 403(b) plan to an ERISA-covered 403(b) plan, the

transferred assets will automatically become subject to the requirements of ERISA. Please contact the Plan Administrator of the ERISA covered

403(b) plan or us for further information.

III. Incoming 401(a) Plan-to-Plan Transfer Request to Transamerica from Another 401(a) Plan

participant is entitled to receive any distribution from the receiving plan in a single sum distribution.

Please contact your Plan Administrator or us for further information.
