A Message From ICMA-RC President and CEO Joan McCallen

At ICMA-RC, we have heard from many of you asking what you should do in the current financial markets about your retirement savings. These are unprecedented and challenging times. Many of you are likely evaluating your options and trying to determine what course of action is best for you and we have several different ways to assist you.

Tools to Help Investors

ICMA-RC is committed to helping you build retirement security. Making educated decisions regarding your retirement investments is key to that goal. The Invest Smart section of ICMA-RC’s Web site provides information and tools that can assist you in determining your course of action. If you are in or nearing retirement Reaching Your Dreams has information designed especially for you. If you have questions, we invite you to speak with an ICMA-RC representative by calling our toll-free number at 800-669-7400.

Measure Your Risk Tolerance

Determining your risk tolerance is a personal decision that often benefits from careful consideration and education. Making an informed decision about your tolerance for risk is important and we have a number of tools on our Web site that could help you decide including How Much Risk Can You Tolerate? With ICMA-RC you may choose from a wide range of investment options to help you reach your retirement goals – equity, fixed income, stable value, and asset allocation funds; plus a money market fund. Additionally, your plan also may offer FDIC insured certificates of deposit.

ICMA-RC is Financially Sound

ICMA-RC is a financially strong non-profit corporation. From the day we were founded more than 36 years ago, we have remained exclusively dedicated to serving public employers and employee participants and their beneficiaries. Our corporation is structured so that all of your retirement assets are held separately from and not commingled with the corporate assets of ICMA-RC.

We remain committed to our mission of helping you build retirement security.

Sincerely,
Joan McCallen
