Asset allocation is a way of diversifying investments among various asset classes. By spreading money among stocks, bonds and cash equivalents, participants can potentially reduce risk. Lincoln Financial Group has developed eight profile funds to simplify the asset allocation decision. Participants can choose from three profile funds ranging from conservative to aggressive. An easy questionnaire helps determine the investor profile which is then aligned with one of the funds. We have also added five target-maturity profile funds.
With the portfolio rebalancing option, the participant indicates the percentage to be maintained in the selected investment options and on a periodic basis Lincoln Financial Group will rebalance the account to maintain this ratio. This option can be used to rebalance the entire account balance or to rebalance specific investment options.
Dollar Cost Averaging is an investment strategy used to invest a fixed sum of money at regular intervals into one or more investment options. This option provides participants the ability to move money into the investment options over a 12-, 24- or 36-month period. The participant determines the total amount they wish to Dollar Cost Average. On a monthly basis, an equal portion is moved out of the holding account to the selected investment option(s).
Upon annuitization, we guarantee that the dollar amount of each payment, after the first, will not be affected by variations in mortality experience from mortality assumptions on which the first payment is based.
The Lincoln Fixed annuity is considered a conservative investment because it guarantees return of principal and offers a minimum interest rate guarantee. We guarantee that the interest credited to this account will never fall below 1.75% in contract years 1-10 and 3.00% in contract years 11 and later.
To initiate a loan, a participant must obtain the appropriate loan form from Lincoln Financial Group’s customer service representative, their local representative, or employer. Once the completed paperwork is received in good order, the loan is processed the same day and loan proceeds are deposited via EFT. There is a $35 loan set-up fee. Loan repayments can be made directly by the participants via EFT. Payments are set up on monthly or quarterly installments. Loan defaults follow IRS guidelines. Loan modeling and amortization schedules are available online and through the on-site representatives. The employer can be responsible for loan approval or this activity can be totally outsourced to Lincoln Financial Group.
To initiate a hardship withdrawal, a participant must obtain the appropriate withdrawal form from Lincoln’s customer service, their local representative, or employer. Once the completed paperwork is received in good order, the withdrawal is processed on the same day and the check is mailed within two to three business days. This product is fully benefit sensitive which means that Lincoln Financial Group will not assess any type of withdrawal or surrender charge in the event a participant initiates a hardship withdrawal. There is no additional cost for this feature.
Lincoln Financial Group will calculate the required minimum distribution upon request. Lincoln Financial offers an automatic withdrawal feature that will enable participants to take the annual IRS-required minimum distribution in periodic installments throughout the year. The participant can change or stop this service at their convenience-giving them maximum control of his/her account. Lincoln Financial will not automatically initiate a distribution to the participant, as the participant may choose to take the RMD from other like contracts. Written notification of minimum required distributions occurs in the quarter of the participant’s 70th birthday.
