Important Upcoming Changes to Retirement Investment Options and Administration
Harvard is making some changes to the investment options and management available through the retirement programs, including TDA and 457(b) savings. Among the changes:
- A new simplified investment lineup that will include a number of the currently available mutual funds and annuities provided by Vanguard and TIAA, including the current default investment Vanguard Target Retirement funds, along with a new option of a TIPS fund from Schwab.
- Harvard is moving to a single platform that will be managed by TIAA for retirement account administration and recordkeeping with one website where employees can view and elect investments and make changes. Participants will receive a consolidated quarterly statement showing all Harvard retirement plan investments and account activity.
