Providing a cost effective solution to the retirement plan market.
Collective Investment Funds (CIFs) are one of the fastest growing investment vehicles for retirement plan assets. CIFs offer a cost‐effective, competitive investment solution for qualified retirement plans, both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Studies indicate the average cost to be 20-60 basis points less than mutual funds.1
