Retire with Confidence
There are many important financial decisions to make in retirement. One of the most critical involves deciding what do with your retirement account at work. This process can seem daunting and downright confusing. It doesn't need to be. Your credit union can help.
Employer Rollovers Made Simple
Please complete the form below or call your credit union and a representative will contact you to proceed with this important step. We will simplify the process to open an IRA account so that your employer retirement account funds can be deposited at the place you trust. Ensuring you are using your retirement savings properly and maximizing your retirement income is how we can help.
Consolidate for Simplicity and Control
It is likely that over the years you've accumulated accounts at various financial institutions, or left the money behind at a previous employer. Managing this can prove difficult and may hinder the development of an appropriate retirement income plan. Your credit union will assist you in consolidating these accounts into one account at the credit union.
TIPS
- Before making any decision about your pension distribution, be sure to contact your credit union first.
- Once you retire, a retirement income plan should be developed.
- Consolidating your accounts will help in preparing an effective retirement income plan.

Our Investment Philosophy
Empirical research has shown that investors are better served by a disciplined investment approach, especially an approach that combines an understanding of the investor's goals and risk tolerance within a well-defined strategy. Our objective in constructing efficient portfolios is to maximize expected returns for a desired level of risk.
We base our approach to effective investment management on the following core beliefs:
- Diversification and balance:
Diversification across asset classes (together with the appropriate asset weightings within portfolios) improves long-term investment returns while reducing volatility.
- Turnover erodes returns:
Excessive turnover, either of assets within portfolios or of whole portfolios, contributes to long-term underperformance.
- Cost minimization is an important component of investment management:
Investment management related costs, including fees and transaction costs, will negatively affect performance especially if such costs are compounded over long periods.
- Determinants of performance:
Asset allocation and portfolio structure - more than individual security selection or market timing - are the principal components of investment performance.
- Determination of Risk Preference
- Top-Down Asset Allocation Modeling
- Creation of Efficient Portfolio Structures
- Selection of Asset Classes and Setting of Weightings
- Monitoring and Re-balancing
