GE Retirement Savings Plan: Educational Insert

When choosing your RSP investment mix (your asset allocation), don’t forget to consider all of your retirement income sources to ensure you have a complete retirement picture. Remember, no single path is right for everyone because we all have different financial goals, different amounts of time to meet our goals and different tolerances for risk.

Here’s a basic roadmap.

Two paths are available when choosing your investment mix in the GE Retirement Savings Plan (RSP). Both can help you get there.

When selecting your mix in either track, remember to consider your financial goals, time horizon and risk tolerance.

My Retirement – Getting ThereUnderstanding, determining and reviewing your investment mix on your retirement journey

When you choose a Target Retirement Date Fund (TRDF), you get a diversified investment mix managed to gradually become more conservative over time. Each fund has a date in its name, indicating the year in which the fund is designed to have a participant retire and begin withdrawing money.

Want an experienced guide to help you plan your route?

Pre-Mixed Track

The RSP offers a range of investment options you can use to create your own mix to help you reach your retirement savings goals. With the Mix-Your-Own track, you have the control and flexibility to tailor your investment mix to meet your needs.

To learn how to diversify your RSP investments based on your investment style, check out the Portfolio Review tool. Go to OneHR.ge.com > Retirement* > My GE RSP > Tools.

Consider automatic rebalancing. Fidelity will automatically rebalance your portfolio at an interval you choose to keep your mix in line with your investment goals. Go to OneHR.ge.com > Retirement* > My GE RSP > click on GE RSP in the purple bar > Investments > Change Investments > Rebalance.

To choose your RSP investment track, go to OneHR.ge.com > Retirement* > My GE RSP > GE RSP (in the purple bar) > Investments. Or call the GE RSP Service Center at 1-877-55-GERSP (1-877-554-3777) for assistance.

Frequently review and monitor your investment goals and performance to make sure your choices still make sense for you.

A TRDF is designed to hold your entire RSP account balance, so choosing more than one may throw off your investment mix.

Each TRDF consists of a different diversified mix of select funds available in the RSP.
