Time to Close the Gap

Your retirement report card shows that you will have a monthly shortfall of $1025 when you retire. How can you close your retirement savings gap?

If you increase your rate to 7.4%,you will have an additional $169,272 at retirement -- enough to meet your retirement income needs.* If you can't increase your contribution rate this much, do what you can. The earlier you save, the better!

The information in this report is intended to be educational and to provide you with information that might help you make better use of retirement savings opportunities in realizing your retirement goals. All information in this report is provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered legal or investment advice. We strongly recommend that you seek the advice of a financial services professional before making any type of investment. We also encourage you to review your investment strategy periodically as your financial circumstances change. Projections in this report do not reflect actual returns for any specific investments, and are not intended to imply or guarantee future results. All projections are hypothetical and for illustration purposes only. Actual returns may be higher or lower, and will fluctuate over time. Different assumptions concerning earnings, taxes, investment rates of return, and retirement age will generally yield different results. Returns are assumed to be the same each year. Actual values may increase or decrease in any given year. Past investment performance does not guarantee future results. Please read the investment option's prospectus and consider the objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the investment option carefully before investing. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. An investment in mutual funds is subject to market risk and an investor may experience loss of principal. Because the value of your investment will fluctuate with market conditions, you should consider your ability to continue to invest during periods of low price levels. Regular investing does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market. Contributions to your plan may be limited by federal annual deferral limits, IRS plan compliance requirements, and/or plan limits. Plan balances are fully taxable at withdrawal, except for Roth 401(k) contributions, in which case only realized gains are taxable. Withdrawals made prior to age 59½ may trigger an additional 10% early withdrawal penalty tax.
