EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NuVision Federal Credit Union Defined Benefit Plan

PROPOSAL FOR: 3(16) Plan Administrator, Diirected Trustee, Administration and Recordkeeping Servces PREPARED BY: Ken Jackson, Regional Director

3(16) Fiduciary Outsourcing Fiduciary outsourcing allows employers to get out of the business of retirement plan fiduciary oversight and focus on what they do best by outsourcing their three principal fiduciary roles to Pentegra:

– Principal Named Fiduciary – 3(16) Plan Administrator – Directed Trustee

Advantages Pentegra can provide you and your employees

Having been created by the Federal Home Loan Bank System in 1943, Pentegra was formed as a not for profit cooperative, neither owned nor controlled by an investment management, mutual fund, bank or insurance company - providing you with independent oversight.

Financial Institution Focus As a financial institution retirement plan specialist, we are keenly aware of the challenges you face today. And it is that concentration and expertise that has made us the retirement plan provider of choice for financial institutions nationwide. Pentegra’s qualified retirement plan solutions have been selected as the exclusive Preferred Partner for credit unions by NAFCU Services Corporation.

Outsourcing of Fiduciary Roles, Responsibilities and Liabilities

Outsourcing is the hiring of a professional to provide a service more efficiently and effectively than utilizing resources within the company. Organizations outsource many services, including: payroll, building maintenance, and legal defense producing cost savings, better outcomes, and increased productivity.

Additional benefits with fiduciary outsourcing include: – Reduced liability – Independent objectivity – Fewer conflicts of interest – Increased service standards

Actuarial and Consulting Services

With a complete staff of enrolled actuaries and certified consultants, we provide you complete actuarial support for your pension plan. We will work with you to provide realistic assessments of the impact of workforce demographics on your retirement plan, funding requirements and retiree benefits adequacy.
