• I3 Action: Amendment of the University of California Retirement Savings Program Plan Documents to Allow Plan Distributions for a Deferred Annuity Purchase 

Note: From the documentation: ...The Office of the Chief Investment Officer proposes to expand the existing Target Date Fund series (Pathway Funds) to include a type of deferred income annuity known as a Qualified Longevity Annuity Contract (QLAC) which will be tentatively named Lifetime Income.A QLAC is a form of deferred income annuity that allows participants to use a portion of their defined contribution plan balance to generate lifelong guaranteed income payments, regardless of market performance. These guaranteed payments would begin at an age later than an individual’s retirement age and continue through the rest of the individual’s life. This type of income option can help participants generate guaranteed income in the years they are likely to need it most (late life), while providing access to a large proportion of their accumulated savings in their early retirement years, when they may desire greater flexibility. This feature will be particularly beneficial to the increasing number of Savings Choice participants. Due to the purchasing power of the University’s Office of the Chief Investment Officer, participants will be able to purchase the QLAC at institutional pricing, which was otherwise unavailable to individuals...
