What is the 403(b)?
You contribute by payroll deduction
Your contribution is tax-deferred (not tax-free)
You choose where to invest your contributions
Your contributions + investment performance taxed when withdrawn (10% penalty if < age 59 ½)

Vesting refers to the point at which participants own the university contribution and it cannot be applied to employee contributions.
Once you are vested, you are always vested.

Investment Decisions
To make it easier to navigate your choices, investments will be grouped into three tiers.
Tier 1: Asset Allocation Funds for a ready made portfolio.
Tier 2: Core Funds
Tier 3: Other Funds
![Page 18: Understanding Your Duke Benefits Agenda Rule of 75 What does it mean to me? Duke 403(b) Plans: Faculty & Staff and Savings for Retirement How do these](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062318/55163349550346c6758b4e66/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Asset Allocation Fund (Tier 1)
The Asset Allocation Funds offer a way to make a single choice for your retirement needs based on your expected years to retirement. • The Balanced Fund offers a fixed exposure to stocks
and bonds• The Target Funds include a diversified mix of stocks,
bonds and short-term instruments that change automatically over time
![Page 19: Understanding Your Duke Benefits Agenda Rule of 75 What does it mean to me? Duke 403(b) Plans: Faculty & Staff and Savings for Retirement How do these](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062318/55163349550346c6758b4e66/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Core Funds (Tier 2)
These funds represent the primary asset classes and have been chosen based on their suitability for inclusion in a customized retirement portfolio.
This option may be good if you are more comfortable diversifying your own investments.

Other Funds (Tier 3)
Other Funds include all investment options available through Duke’s retirement plan that are not already listed under Tier 1 or Tier 2.
These funds will not be monitored regularly by the IAC, so you will be responsible for monitoring the holdings and performance of these funds to ensure they remain in line with your investment strategy.
