Observations and Commentary • Participation has increased by more than 10% since plan was initially rolled out • Campaign still needed to increase participation and deferral rates among younger workers • Suggest targeted mailing for those who have never accessed web / VRU. • Suggest second sweep of meetings to show employees how to log on and use website • Suggest adding targeted maturity or lifecycle funds to help less sophisticated investors • Suggest a change to loan policy (1 loan for any reason, no adjudication). Consider Reserve Plus. • Discussion of ADP / ACP test • Possibility of automatic enrollment • Safe harbor may be too expensive
Observations and Commentary • Fund review process will highlight our recommendations for fund additions / changes • Suggest changing default fund to balance fund (consistent with PPA regulations) • HR is doing a good job of administering the plan; you are very proactive
