Fidelity On-Site Thursday, May 10 to Assist with
Transfer of Legacy Mutual Fund Balances to Fidelity TSA Plan

The Chancellor’s Office has made changes to our Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA) programs. If you have a legacy mutual fund balance with one of the TSA program’s five legacy recordkeepers (Fidelity, MetLife, TIAA, VALIC, and Voya), your funds will be transferred to the active Fidelity TSA plan at the end of May. Thomas Huerta, our Fidelity representative, will be on-site to provide assistance with selecting investments in the active Fidelity TSA plan and to answer any questions you might have about this transfer.

Thomas will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis on Thursday, May 10 between 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the Anatol Center. Please bring your own laptop or tablet, if possible.
