Why retirement plan portfolio manager?

Small, regular adjustments vs. waiting until it’s too late

Imagine you’re sailing from New York to London through heavy winds across your journey.

If you wait too long to adjust your course, you will lose valuable time in reaching your destination. However, if you were to make small, frequent adjustments along the way, your path would look closer to a straight line.

RPPM keeps a constant eye on one’s retirement portfolio, automatically course correcting during their working years, so they can focus on what matters to your employees.

Morningstar Investment Management, LLC (Morningstar) is an unaffiliated investment advisor that provides TIAA with independent, third-party asset allocation models and specific investment recommendations for purposes of the Retirement Plan Portfolio Manager program. Program recommendations are generated by Morningstar as an independent investment authority, retained by TIAA to provide independent advice. The Morningstar tool's advice is based on statistical projections of the likelihood that an individual will achieve their retirement goals. The projections rely on financial and economic assumptions of historical rates of return of various asset classes that may not reoccur in the future, volatility measures and other facts, as well as information the individual provides.

IMPORTANT: Projections and other information generated through the Morningstar tool regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypo­thetical, do not reflect actual investment results and are not a guarantee of future results. The projections are dependent in part on subjective assump­tions, including the rate of inflation and the rate of return for different asset classes. These rates are difficult to accurately predict. Changes to the law, financial markets or individual personal circumstances can cause substantial deviation from the estimates. This could result in declines in an account's value over short or even extended periods of time.

No strategy or investment policy can eliminate or anticipate all market risks and losses can occur.
