The Save program is designed to educate participants about the value of saving more, and what might be an appropriate saving rate.

Saving for retirement is an ongoing endeavor. To best understand how much to save for retirement, we recommend your employees tap into several educational resources before taking action. 

Follow these two easy steps to get your employees educated on saving:
A great starting point is our online education center that highlights different aspects of saving in retirement. 
We then suggest your employees model different savings scenarios through the contribution increase calculator, which demonstrates the impact of changing one’s saving rate. Keep in mind, retirement savings goals evolve and economic factors are always changing, so we suggest employees should revisit their saving rate on an annual basis.

Target-date investments are subject to the risks of their underlying funds. The year in the investment’s name refers to the approximate year (the target date) when an investor would retire and leave the workforce. The investment will gradually shift its emphasis from more aggressive investments to more conservative ones based on its target date. A target-date investment is not guaranteed at any time, including on or after the target date.
