Why ICMA-RC is the Right Choice for You

You know you want to begin building your retirement future, but which provider do you choose? You want to make the right choice.

Here are 10 reasons why you should choose ICMA-RC:

1. We are an independent, non-profit organization. We aren’t owned by a bank, insurance company or financial institution monitoring our ”bottom line”. The only stakeholder we answer to is you.
2. We are the experts in public sector retirement services. For over three decades, we have focused exclusively on providing public employees like you the tools/education to build a secure retirement. We have never wavered from that commitment.
3. Your assets are fully protected from ICMA-RC’s financial condition. Unlike many large insurance companies or banks, your assets are completely separated from ours.
4. For more than 30 years participants and plan sponsors have put their trust in us because of our focus, insight and commitment to building their retirement security. Today, more than 650,000 public employees have their retirement plan assets with ICMA-RC.
5. With ICMA-RC you have access to the Vantagepoint Funds including innovative products like our one-step mutual funds.
6. We fully disclose all fees and expenses upfront. There are no surprises now or when you're ready to retire.
7. You have total control over the funds in your account. Plus, there are no transfer restrictions and you're never charged or penalized for beginning, ending, withdrawing or transferring funds.
8. When you’re ready to retire, you’ll have a wide variety of payout options—the most flexible allowed by law—and your account will continue to have the potential for growth. You’ll never be required to transfer your hard-earned account assets to an annuity, where funds stop earning.
9. All of our investment and educational materials are written specifically for the unique needs of the public employee.
10. You receive personalized service from a team committed to guiding you through every aspect of your retirement plan from contributing to investing to retiring.
