Protected retirement solutions
No plan in life is complete without protection
What happens if a participant's retirement plan doesn't go..as planned?
We get it. That’s why we developed two types of investment options so you can help participants prepare for – and protect – their retirement:
Principal protection and Protected retirement income
Offer your participants protection from market uncertainty
Help participants envision retirement income they can't outlive
We offer target date collective investment funds that can help participants worry less about running out of money in retirement. Participants can take advantage of protected retirement income solutions that offer:
- Protected income for life — Provides retirement income they can't outlive, and isn't dependent on market conditions
- Growth potential — Offers the opportunity to grow savings, thanks to investment glide paths to and through retirement
- Simplified experience — Accessible within an employer-sponsored retirement plan, and offers institutional pricing
- Greater flexibility — Preserves access to account balance without surrender charges or penalties2
You have the choice of offering a protected retirement income solution in the way that works best for your plan:
1
Add solution to your standard investment lineup for participants to select on their own
2
Set it as your plan’s Default Investment, or as part of our new Dynamic Default feature
3
Offer as part of Nationwide ProAccount® to give participants the advice they crave3
