CTA's 403(b):
A Smarter Way
to Save
Y O U M A Y H A V E S E E N recent head-
lines about educators discovering they
have paid thousands in extra fees on
supplemental retirement accounts
such as 403(b) and 407(b) accounts.
In fact, many plans offered by financial
firms end up charging high fees and
commissions over time that can add
up to a substantial amount of your
hard-earned money.
CTA has developed a 403(b)
Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) built
specifically for educators to help you
build a secure financial future and
avoid such predatory tactics. The plan
has low, flat fees, and there are no
commissions or surrender charges. CTA
oversees the plan, and partners with
service providers that have been vetted
for quality and service.
" You spend your career helping
students plan for their future," says CTA
President E. Toby Boyd. "CTA wants to
help you plan for yours."
