Investment Strategy


In the Plan, all contributions are combined into a pooled investment, versus individually defined investments. Individual accounts are still kept, but all funds are invested under one investment strategy.


Investments are diversified into growth, growth and income, and value stocks as well as fixed income investments (e.g. bonds). Currently the Investment Policy calls for 30% of the fund to be invested in Growth and Income Stock, 10% in International, 30% in Value, and 30% in Fixed. It is designed to be a moderate-at-best risk to protect the fund while allowing for some growth. The Plan cannot invest in alcohol, tobacco, abortion- related, and entertainment industries.


Unit values are like "shares" purchased in the Pension Fund. The number of units increases in each Participant's individual account as long as contributions are made. The value of those units is tied to market activity, as well as all other contributions and withdrawals. Statements are mailed each September.
