Employee Asset Allocation Solutions

Today's participants often want more investment advice. By choosing TechAmerica/ING Investment Solution Portfolios, you are giving your employees a clear, simple choice about how to invest their plan assets.

Rather than investing in individual securities, these portfolios invest in an underlying portfolio of investment options. Your employees may choose a portfolio based on their investment goals. Professional fund managers allocate the portfolio among asset classes and specific funds.

A New Approach to Enrollment

One Underlying Question

"Do you want to create monitor
and rebalance your own investment mix,
or are you more comfortable letting
the professionals do it for you?"

Enrollment is the stage at which your employees have the most concerns and want clear direction. ING's new enrollment process uses a tiered approach to help employees make decisions by answering the question above.

Each employee will be able to select the investment strategy that works best for his or her own comfort level.

The Process

ING wants employees to make the best use of your plan. That's why the new enrollment process includes several elements, each of which cross reference each other.

Powerpoint presentations, customizable to your plan
Enrollment map, helping employees make logical, clear decisions
Enrollment guide, providing a wealth of detailed worksheets and information
Membership card, giving employees direction about where to find information about their plan
Posters and payroll stuffers, customizable to your plan, to promote enrollment and participation

Extensive Service and Support

Employees have an array of tools to help them make the best informed decisions to manage their future, including:

Asset allocation software and workbooks
Interactive calculators
Fund evaluation scorecard that provides an analysis of fund performance
Immediate Access - via internet and a 24 hour, toll-free voice response system
(interpretive services available for non-English speaking participants)
Premier record keeping and compliance service.

Plus, ING's regional offices provide bilingual services and employee communications including quarterly statements, posters, and newsletters.
