Diversified investment options available with the RBFCU Freedom Retirement Plan

American Funds
BlackRock
Dimensional (DFA)
Fidelity
Franklin Templeton
J.P. Morgan
Oppenheimer
PIMCO
Vanguard
Why we partnered with Nationwide
Unlike a federally insured account, mutual funds containing stocks, bonds and other investments are not guaranteed. Their performance depends on the health of different financial markets, the performance of the mutual fund portfolio manager, and fees and other expenses.
As a result of performance, investment options and low costs, the RBFCU Retirement Program elected to work with Nationwide
in order to create the RBFCU Freedom Retirement Plan. Nationwide is the choice of a large portion of the nation’s independent investment advisors for their client’s tax-advantaged retirement assets, including variable annuities, 401(k) plans and IRAs.
Our fiduciary responsibility
RBFCU Retirement Program has a fiduciary responsibility to you. This simply means we want to ensure the mutual fund choices in our line-up meet your needs, not ours.
To provide this fiduciary protection, we’ve partnered with
LeafHouse Financial.
As an investment fiduciary, their focus is to prudently select, evaluate and monitor investments that are solely in your best interest, so you can plan your future with confidence.

Retirement FAQs
What is the difference between a 457(b) plan and a 403(b) plan?
+
-
Both types of plans are tax deferred, but the 457(b) lets you start withdrawing money from your account as soon as you stop working for the sponsoring employer, no matter your age or in the case of death, disability or unforeseen emergency, regardless of your age if certain requirements are met. Meanwhile, 403(b) plans allow standard, penalty-free withdrawals at age 59½, as well as limited early withdrawal exceptions.
Can I transfer my 403(b) plan at any time?
+
-
Yes. If you are still employed, you may transfer your 403(b) between eligible 403(b) providers. If you are no longer employed or otherwise meet a qualifying event, you become eligible to roll funds over to an IRA or other eligible retirement plan.
