Defined Contribution Program

Service Details

With competitive pricing, a dedicated GMA support team, and easy account access, our program ensures participants save more while receiving personalized assistance.

Benefits

Our DC program offers competitive benefits that make it a better choice than standalone commercial offerings.

    • Pre-tax savings. Any deferred earnings are not taxed until you receive them in retirement.
    • Tax credits. You may qualify for a savings credit on your federal taxes.
    • Diversified Low-Cost Investment Choices. 22 mutual fund options (including target date funds) and a Stable Value Fund, all of which utilize some of the lowest cost share classes available in the investment industry.
    • Competitive Pricing. GMA leverages defined benefit retirement fund assets to lower plan fees whenever possible to ensure that participants get to save more of what they earn.
    • Dedicated GMA Staff. GMA employees are committed to educating plan participants through seminars and one-on-one meetings.
    • Easy Account Access. Via on-line or through our dedicated client support 800- number.

Costs

GMA provides DC plans at no administrative cost to our cities. There is a quarterly administrative fee from each participating employee’s account at a rate of 15 basis points (100 basis points = 1 percentage point) and $16.
