The four vendors offer three tiers of investment choices:
- Tier 1 will provide a Target Date Fund (based upon your current age and your estimated retirement age).
- Tier 2 will offer both passive and actively managed mutual fund choices across all major asset categories and will include many recognized major mutual fund providers.
- Tier 3 will allow you to choose preferred investment fund choices through a brokerage window, although there may be higher fees associated with this option.
