Section 457 Plans

A retirement plan especially for municipal employees.

A Section 457 Plan is a smart option for municipal employees or educators to save for retirement, because the money they set aside can grow tax-deferred, meaning no tax is due until the money is distributed. The amount deferred can often be in addition to a contribution to a Traditional IRA.

• Smart way to invest for retirement.
• Earnings grow tax-deferred.
• Reduce your taxable income.
