For Benefit Eligible Faculty and Staff,
Over the past few years several of you have requested for your independent financial advisors to be able to receive fees from your retirement account. Both ACU and TIAA-CREF recognize the importance of independent financial advisors and the value they bring to participants who may choose to or are already working with their own advisor. ACU is now making it easier for you to access independent advice by adding TIAA-CREF’s Participant Choice option to your retirement plan. With this service, participants can receive advice from local independent advisors on a fee for service basis. While we are making these additional services available, please keep in mind that TIAA-CREF offers several ways for participants to receive advice and guidance directly from their representatives or through their website at no additional cost to participants.
If you have questions about how to access the advice and guidance services offered by TIAA-CREF you can contact a TIAA-CREF representative at 1-800-842-2733 or visit www.tiaa-cref.org/acu. For details and instructions on the Participant Choice option please review this amendment to ACU’s plan and flyer from TIAA-CREF.
