IV. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT:

A. Q3 2011 Service Review: Brian Merrick, Justin Naegle and Carol Cann, via phone, with ING presented the service review. Cann discussed the executive summary noting the assets in the Plan are just over a billion dollars. The LifePath® option represents 26 percent and the Stable Value 18 percent of the Plan assets. The new self directed brokerage option (SDBO) has 10 participants with assets of $510,000. The loan fund equals $7.47 million, representing less than 1 percent of the total Plan assets. There have been 1,654 loans issued since the program was added in July of 2007; the average loan balance is $6,040 and 5 percent of participants have a loan.


The net cash flow is a positive $782,476, contributions totaled $17,044,047 and distributions totaled $14,944,386.

Cann reported the average monthly contribution increased from $397 to $404 since September 2011. The average participant balance increased from $46,584 to $46,975 since September 2010. The Stable Value Option had the largest positive transfer activity, with approximately $9 million net transferred in the third quarter of 2011. The Small/Midsize Option had the largest transfer out activity of $410.4 million. Cann explained the rollovers out have decreased consistently since May 2011. Cann noted one of the upcoming Plan enhancements for 2012 is the Roth 457 which should be implemented in the third quarter. Merrick commented that some of the rollover activity out may have slowed down due to the transition counseling program now being used. Merrick will provide a summary slide in the next review. Mike Viteri asked if we had done any reaching out to participants who are nearing retirement. Bath would like a mailing/email or some kind of communication to participants close to retirement age reminding them when they retire they are not required to take their money out. Merrick said they would prepare a summary response on what the team can do to help educate and keep participants in the plan. Justin Naegle explained in the last quarter he has had 49 educational group meetings with an attendance of 763 participants. Naegle has been focusing on meeting with the human resource managers at his presentations to offer one-on-one counseling for the participants who prefer to meet individually. Some participants are more comfortable meeting one-on-one to enroll or talk about rolling money into the plan; Naegle had 257 one-on-one consultations with plan participants. He will continue to educate the participants on financial security, and he shared that participants like the Plan’s new branding and logo. Carol Cann gave a communication update noting the most recent accomplishments; which included the self-directed brokerage option, asset retention and National Save for Retirement Week. The upcoming initiatives for 2012 are to identify targeted audiences and to integrate technology with quick response codes and e-book (Enrollment Guide and Investment Option Guide). Merrick covered the enhancements that we will be seeing in December and January. The new Account Summary page with Dashboard will show more details about the


participants account right on the first page. They will also be able to make changes to their account from this page. ING will be adding new mail delivery preferences so the participant can be notified of updates and changes to their accounts via e-mail or mobile phone. Merrick will be working with Gay Lynn on all of the new enhancements.

B. Q3 2011 Performance report/Presentation: Mike Viteri, from Treasury, and Jake O’Shaughnessy discussed the performance for Q3. Viteri highlighted the recent changes to the OSGP line-up; the Small Mid Cap added Callan Diversified Small Cap Trust to the Small/Mid-Size Cap. Within the International Option they added about 15 percent exposure to a DFA emerging markets fund. The T Rowe Price fund fee dropped 7 or 8 basis points, and by going from a mutual fund with MFS to a CIT (Co-Mingled Investment Trust), the fee dropped from 80 to 44 basis points. Viteri will continue to pursue the best performing managers/line-up changes.

Jake O’Shaughnessy started by reviewing the market in Q3. The 457 contribution limits have increased from $16,500 to $17,000 for 2012, which means the 3-year catch-up is now $34,000. O’Shaughnessy explained the third quarter was very interesting; it started out by the United States being downgraded by one of the three rating agencies. Most debt covenants read that you have to be downgraded by at least two of the three companies before it would have any material impact. Government debt was the best performing type of asset on the market. O’Shaughnessy commented on the volatility in the market due to the European market. The Feds have announced they are bringing down the long-term interest rates, selling Short Term Bonds and buying Long Term Bonds. The government recently announced some programs to refinance mortgages and student loans which would help free-up some of the debt Americans are currently under.

C. Update on Open House, Financial Advice Survey: Gay Lynn Bath gave an update on the open house and workshops held during National Save for Retirement Week which was October 17 through 21. There were workshops held every day at lunch time during the week which were well attended with 25-30 people in each one. On the day of the open house, between 80 and100 people that attended. There were also workshops held throughout the day, but the attendance was low for those. Bath invited representatives from BlackRock, Dwight and Charles Schwab to attend. The plan update and the state pay stub was used to communicate to state employees about


the event, Bath suggested that next year OSGP could look into holding more that one open house, possibly in another city so more people can attend.

Bath noted there have been about 65 responses to her survey about Financial Engines. The majority said they would like to receive the annual statement at $6 a year, and in a follow up question, 46 respondents said they may be willing to pay the fee, 13 said they would be, and the rest were unsure or felt they could handle their investments on their own. Bath received an e-mail from Vice Chair Lattimer saying they already had financial advice in their other plan, and that employees most likely would not want to pay the fee. Bath talked about the possibility of allowing local governments to opt out. State Q3 2011 Status: Karen Blanton gave the third quarter status. Blanton was asked by Shukla what the percentage of participants was that attend the workshops who actually sign up. Karen indicated that 67 percent usually enroll. Blanton attended a regional managers meeting for the Oregon Educational Division this year. There were 105 managers from all over the state. It was a great opportunity to reach out to employees. Blanton held the wealth builder workshop for them. She explained that health insurance had taken precedence with people this year and the PEBB meetings sometimes conflicted with the benefit fairs, which resulted in less attending at the workshops. Blanton thanked Priyanka for helping her schedule six employee workshops at Revenue. Blanton has a regional managers’ meeting set up for next year in eastern Oregon at Fish and Wildlife where 50 to 60 managers should be in attendance. Blanton is working on a retirement workshop for Department of Human Services (DHS). She held two already and had good feedback. Karen said that the biggest misunderstanding when participants retire is they don’t realize they can leave their money in OSGP. She always emphasizes this when she meets with employees nearing retirement. Blanton explained the LifePath® funds are very popular for the novice investor. Blanton and Naegle will be holding workshops at OSU next week. Local Government Q3 2011 Status: Justin Naegle gave the third quarter update for Jack Schafroth today as he was attending a benefits fair in Grants Pass. The total current participation is up to 7 percent. Naegle explained the local governments have other providers available to them which make it more competitive. There were six new adoptions this last quarter; and four of those were school districts. There are six more adoptions in progress.


Justin and Jack are working on increasing participation. Naegle noted that OSGP’s fees are a great selling point. Rollovers-in are at 89 percent of goal. Naegle said we need to target current local governments by holding more presentations. He and Schafroth are working on splitting up their territories to target more people.

D. Q2 2011 Plan Statistics: Kathy Gannon gave the highlights of the third quarter’s

statistics. There was a slowing down of total contributions this last quarter, possibly due to the current economic situation, but overall the contributions are up from last year. New enrollments were 298 for the quarter which is up from last year’s 291. The final paycheck provision is up 69 percent from last year at this time, Gannon contributes this to the payroll departments who are spreading the word about this provision. Loans are holding steady at around 35 per month. Unforeseeable emergencies have been increasing. Rollovers into the plan are at 244, which is up from last year’s 174; 126 were from the IAP. The rollovers out were 131; up from 128 last year at this time. Gannon added the prior service time purchase of service statistic which went into effect on September 1. There were 26 direct rollovers out to purchase time. For information on the eligible purchases, participants should contact PERS.

Plan Participants’ Opinions

• Key Oregon Savings Growth Plan Financial Advice Survey Findings*– 90% of survey respondents said they would like an annual evaluation and Online

Advice because they want and expert opinion– 60% of survey respondents said they would be willing to pay for these services– Over half (54%) said they would consider a professional management service

where a team of investment advisors manage their account for an additional fee

Notable quotes“I think OSGP should offer members an optional service to purchase financial advice at a reasonable fee.”

“I am a fairly savvy amateur investor and don’t want to pay additional fees for additional management help.”

“Some people might want to have help using financial advisors in their investments, so having the option for those people is a good option. I don’t support making this a mandatory requirement for all of us.”

“The additional services the OSGP to enhance participants’ ability to make good investment decisions is very desirable and appreciated. Thank you, OSGP managers.”

Financial Advice Survey Summary In these trying economic times, Oregon Savings Growth Plan (OSGP) wants to be sure that our participants have all the tools necessary to help them prepare for a secure financial future. We have seen many participants leave the plan when they retire because we did not offer financial advice. Therefore, OSGP is considering adding financial advice from ING through its partnership with Financial Engines. All participants would receive an annual Retirement Evaluation statement which provides a personalized summary of their portfolio and offers help with their investments, savings, and retirement income. The participants would then have access to Online Advice. Participants who manage their OSGP account on their own but are looking for advice from an expert may find this service helpful in reaching their goals. These accounts would be pre-populated with their OSGP account and investment information. Participants would be charged a monthly fee of 50 cents (annual fee of $6) for the printed Retirement Evaluation statement and 24/7 access to Online Advice. Participants who want an independent advisor to manage their OSGP account for them could enroll into the professional management program, speak to an advisor about their retirement goals, and receive quarterly

progress reports about their portfolios. This service is offered for an additional fee. OSGP held webcasts with two focus groups to review the services. The focus groups were made up of current employees and retirees. OSGP also developed a survey that was posted on both the state and ING’s websites. The survey was open for several months, and notice was given in the quarterly newsletter. Only 127 participants responded. These were the results of that survey:

• 37.4 percent responded that the last time they made any changes to their OSGP account was more than a year ago.

• 58.9 percent said they planned to

retire within the next 15 years.

• 78 percent had created a plan to save and investment for retirement. Sixty-five percent said they had stuck to that plan.

• 60 percent felt that they had

enough time and expertise to research investments and plan for retirement.

• 60 percent said they would like

to receive an annual Retirement Evaluation statement and to have access to Online Advice for the fee of 50 cents per month.

• 90 percent said they would like

the evaluation and Online Advice because they wanted an expert opinion.

• For those who said they did not want the service, 45 percent said they were confident in their own investment, and 70 percent said they did not want to pay a fee. (Respondents could choose multiple responses.)

• 54 percent indicated they would

consider a professional management service in which a team of investment advisors would manage their account for them at an additional fee.

• Of those who said they might be

interested in a managed account, 68 percent said they would do so to avoid making a big mistake and losing their investments before they were able to retire. Forty-five percent said they wanted an independent advisor to do this for them so they didn’t have to, and another 40 percent said they wanted to have a plan for retirement (multiple responses).

• For those not interested in a

managed account, 55 percent said they didn’t think it was worth the cost, and 43 percent did not want to delegate this responsibility to a professional advisor.

Some of the comments from those who liked the idea were: “There is a significant benefit to working with a financial provider experienced with PERS pension fund and Oregon State investment laws. Providing financial services that meet these

requirements could be beneficial to our members.” “I don’t want to make a major mistake and with professional advice it may be avoided.” “I think OSGP should offer members an optional service to purchase financial advice at a reasonable fee. The fee of 50 cents per month mentioned in the survey is very reasonable and I would sign up immediately provided I felt the advisor actively monitored and managed my account with my retirement goals in mind.” “The additional services the OSGP to enhance participants’ ability to make good investment decisions is very desirable and appreciated. Thank you, OSGP managers.” “I think this is an important need for the broad population of people in the OSGP. I take more than the usual interest in investing, but I still have a lot to learn. I am nearing, but not yet at, retirement age. I will probably seek out independent advice soon on a fee-basis. But even if I do that, this service would be a chance for a double check on that advice, if it is what it can be. And for other investors, it might be all they will do. I’m appalled by the number of people who are talked into removing their money from this plan or from PERS after retirement, and who are all but being robbed of their own money through commissions and fees. They need an alternative and this could be hugely beneficial to them.”

Those not so keen on the idea had this to say: “Some people might want to have help using financial advisors in their investments, so having the option for those people is a good option. I don’t support making this a mandatory requirement for all of us.” “I am very satisfied with my current OSGP retirement withdrawals. I am a fairly savvy amateur investor and don’t want to pay additional fees for additional management help.” “Many of us will be very upset if this additional 6.00 financial fee is forced on us! If an individual wants additional advice, then that should be their choice. Also please remember there is a lot of anger & distrust towards financial institutions and big banks going on right now.” “Any additional costs should be OPTIONAL. In addition, I think there is a lot of advice that could and should be provided for free with regard to the value of diversification, etc. Finally, I think the retirement date based funds provide the support you are looking to provide for the investor who wants to stick to the tried and true.” Questions posed by respondents have been addressed below: How much does the Professional Account Manager program cost? It depends on your account balance. For accounts under $50,000, it would be 60 basis points*; for the next $50,000, 50 basis points, 40 basis points for the next $50,000 and 20 basis points for accounts over $150,000. *1/100 of 1%

Posting the dates for the 1st and 2nd quarter OSGP workshops planned for 2012 before the end of 2011 would be helpful. OSGP posts the upcoming workshops in November of each year. These can be found at: http://www.oregon.gov/PERS/OSGP/section/2012_osgp_workshop.shtml Will this be available to retirees also? Yes, all participants will be able to use this service. Is someone available online by chat? You would be able to call someone to talk about your account. This person can also help you with the on-line advice tool. If you sign up for the managed account, you would talk to a financial advisor on the phone. An example of the annual progress report that would go to all participants is attached.

Re: 4th Quarter 2011 Reporting, Deferred Compensation Program BACKGROUND In U.S. Equities, the broad market Russell 3000 index (comprised of the Russell 1000 large cap and Russell 2000 small cap indices) bounced back from a negative 3rd quarter return of ‐15.28 percent, to post a return of 12.11 percent for the quarter ending December 30, 2011. In terms of style, value outperformed growth, and small‐cap stocks outperformed large caps during the quarter. The Russell Small Cap Value Index took a leadership position for the quarter, posting a return of 15.97 percent, while the Russell 1000 Growth index placed last, posting a return of 10.60 percent.

In terms of Russell 3000 sectors, all nine sectors finished the quarter in the black. Energy, Materials, and Producer Durables were the strongest performers during the quarter posting returns of 18.6 percent, 16.6 percent, and 16.3 percent, respectively. On a calendar year basis, Consumer Staples finished in first place posting a return of 14.2 percent, while Financials lagged the broader index by a wide margin during the year posting a return of ‐11.91 percent.

Trailing returns for US Equityfor period ending December 30, 2011

Natural disasters, political turmoil and sovereign debt crises took a toll on Non‐US Equity Markets. International developed markets were able to eke out respectable returns for the quarter with the MSCI EAFE Index posting a 3.33 percent return. The debt crises in the Europe, which appeared to threaten the very existence of the Euro, was the catalyst for the negative calendar year return of‐12.14 percent.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose by than 4.42 percent for the quarter. However, as a result of political instability in the Middle East and Africa, and economic slowdowns in China and Brazil, the calendar year return in US dollar terms was ‐18.42 percent.

In U.S. Fixed Income, equity volatility sent investors to safer havens such as cash and U.S. Treasuries. During the calendar year 2011 market demand for U.S. Sovereign debt drove the yields on the 10‐Year U.S. Treasury down by 148 basis points, benefiting those that held U.S. debt. The Barclays Long Treasury index posted returns of 1.86 percent for the quarter and an astounding 29.93 percent for the calendar year.

OSGP OPTIONS REVIEW

The Short‐Term Fixed Option posted a net of fees return of ‐0.04%, under‐performing the benchmark (91‐day Treasury bill) by 0.04%. The negative return in this option continues to be explained by two factors: 1) The Federal Reserve keeping the discount rate at exceptionally low levels (25 bps since December 15, 2008); 2) Recordkeeping and administrative fees of the OSGP of 10 bps and 8 bps, respectively. State Street Global Markets (SSgM) Government Short Term Investment Fund (GSTIF) is the sole provider within the Short‐Term Fixed Option and was selected as it was a conservative investment option, whose mandate is to invest in short term US Treasury instruments and to maintain an average maturity of the fund of less than 90 days. Given the expectation that the Fed will keep the discount rate a low levels (3 month Treasury yields averaging 10 bps over the year) for the foreseeable future, yields within the portfolio will continue to be low, causing the returns associated with this option to be negative due to recordkeeping and administrative fees.

The Stable Value Option posted a return of 0.37% out‐performing the 91‐day Treasury Bill by 0.37% but underperforming the Rolling Average 5‐Year Constant Maturing Treasury Yield by 0.27%.

The Intermediate‐Bond Option posted a return of 1.15%, outperforming the benchmark (Barclays Aggregate Index) for the quarter by 0.03%.

The Large Cap Value Equity Option posted a return of 12.71% for the quarter, under‐performing the Russell 1000 Value Index by 0.40%.

The Total Market Equity Index Option posted a return of 12.12%, in‐line with the index (Russell 3000 Index).

The Large Cap Growth Equity Option posted a return of 10.27% for the quarter, under‐performing the Russell 1000 Growth Index by 0.34%.

The International Stock Option posted a return of 4.92% for the quarter, outperforming the benchmark (MSCI EAFE Index) by 1.62%.

The Small/Mid Cap Equity Option posted a return of 14.28% for the quarter, under‐performing the benchmark (Russell 2500 Index) by 0.24%. The Blackrock LifePath Retirement Funds all performed in line with their respective Custom Indices and 8 of the 9 Funds outperformed their respective Peer Group for the quarter. The Charles Schwab Brokerage Window continues to garner assets. Total assets within the self‐directed brokerage option (SDBO) increased from $0.5 mm in Q3 2011, to $1.6 mm in in Q4 2011. Given that the average plan participation rate in SDBO ranges from 3 percent to 5 percent, we expect assets in this option to stabilize at about $40 mm. OSGP WATCHLIST Wells Capital’s U.S. large cap growth strategy tripped the performance shortfall trigger in July 2010 for underperforming in the three‐, four‐, and five‐year trailing periods. While staff has continued confidence in the strategy, the under‐performance compels Watchlist status, and is being monitored as part of the OPERF separately managed account.

Fund Manager Review Key

Stable value funds have not escaped the financial crisis of 2008. Long used by plan sponsors and participants for their stability, liquidity, and outperformance of money market funds, stable value may be facing its own version of the shifting landscape, prompting the need for deeper scrutiny. Investors likely don’t need to fear a 7.0 magnitude quake, but the marketplace is definitely experiencing tremors.

Prior to the credit crisis, wide competition meant that stable value wrap providers offered their services with low fees and competitive contract terms. But with the crisis prompting lower market-to-book ratios and now with historically low interest rates making it difficult to provide competitive yield, the wrap market is experiencing some crumbling. Not only are there fewer wrap providers, but those still offering services have raised fees and tightened the terms of their contracts. For instance, wrap providers are instituting tighter investment guidelines and stricter equity wash provi-sions. Some stable value funds, like the Schwab Stable Value Fund, are closing entirely because the market has become less favorable to stable value.

Additionally, the Dodd-Frank bill may affect stable value funds. If wrap contracts are classified as swap securities (still under consideration by regulators), tighter regulations may put further pressure on wrap providers and fund managers.

Does this mean that the bottom is dropping out and that you should eliminate stable value from your fund lineup? Not necessarily. But it does mean that you may want to take a closer look and gauge the rumblings in your stable value solution. Will your plan’s stable value fund be able to continue to provide a premium over money market funds at a reasonable cost? What are the equity wash provisions of the fund? Will par-ticipants be able to move their money should market-to-book value drop, and will that affect the return for those still in the fund? Has the fund manager altered the strategy of the fund? How have the stable value tremors impacted your fund?

In terms of comparison and alternatives, there are several asset classes you may want to examine:

Money market funds

Money market funds invest in short-term (maturing in less than one year) securities such as Treasury bills and commercial paper. The funds are regulated by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to have specific quality, maturity, and diversification require-ments. Since the funds have very low durations, the potential for losses is marginal but does exist, though instances have been rare. With the Federal Reserve and other central banks keeping short-term rates near zero, money market funds currently offer marginal,

The Profit Sharing/401(k) Council of America’s (PSCA) 54th Annual Survey of Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plans (reflecting 2010 plan experience) shows some significant shifts occurring in defined contribu-tion and defined benefit plans over the past year.

Participant contributionsThe number of plans offering Roth contributions is growing, albeit slowly, jumping from about 41 percent to more than 45 percent. The average deferral rate for pre-tax contributions was 6.6% for higher-paid employees (a slight drop) and 5.3% for lower-paid employees (a slight increase). Roth contributions averaged 4.0% of salary for higher-paid employees, down from 4.8%, and 3.5% for lower-paid employees, down from 4.0%.

Employer contributionsIn 2009, 11.2 percent of plans suspended their employer match. The match made a comeback in 2010, with only 2.1 percent of employers suspend-ing it. However, 6.6 percent of plans made no company contribution in 2010, compared with only 4.2 percent in 2009.

Investment optionsWhile the percentage of plans offering target-date funds didn’t change much (from 62 to 64 percent), it appears that balanced funds and lifestyle funds are becoming less popular. In 2009, more than 75 percent of plans offered balanced funds, while only about 62 percent did so in 2010. Lifestyle funds were offered in 36 percent of plans in 2009, but only

22 percent in 2010; more telling is the percentage of total plan assets invested in lifestyle funds, which dropped from 3.9% to 1.6%. On the other hand, lifestyle funds are the default investment option in 26.9 percent of plans, up from 19.9 percent of plans in 2009. Target-date funds decreased as the default investment from 57 percent of plans to just over 53 percent of plans. The average number of investment options offered remained the same: 18.

Automatic featuresAutomatic enrollment is gaining ground — 38.4 percent of plans had the feature in 2009, jumping to 41.8 percent of plans in 2010. Auto-matic escalation, on the other hand, decreased slightly, employed in 37.9 percent of plans with automatic enrollment versus 39.7 percent of those plans in 2009.

Retirement incomeDespite the recent focus on retirement income, annuity options decreased as an offering. Only 16.6 percent of plans in 2010 offered an annuity option, compared with 18.9 percent in 2009.

As the retirement plan industry changes and trends rise and fall, it’s okay if your plan doesn’t fit into the averages. More important is that your plan is designed optimally for your participants, which may or may not mean using the latest tools or fads. You can use statistical information to help gauge the effectiveness of your plan, but ultimately, look to participant success as the best measure.

What’s Changing in the Retirement Plan World?

INDUSTRY TREND

22

2011 was a year of intense volatility. A series of eco-nomic shocks throughout the year caused uncertainty in global markets. The U.S. economy fell short of the best-case scenario some hoped for; measures of activ-ity offered mixed news, such as varying employment reports, strong year-over-year retail sales reports, and weak housing data. The European sovereign debt crisis persisted throughout the year, with rumors of consensus among the European Union member nations changing daily for better or worse. Several major issues seemed to come to a head in the third quarter, which drove a major correction in global stock markets. Hope for a solution to the European debt crisis dimmed as the year closed, causing concerns over its impact and increasing the potential for another recession in the region. The U.S. Congress managed to arrive at a last-minute agreement in the debt ceiling debate and founded a committee to research a solution, which subsequently failed to do so. Not all nations are facing lackluster economic growth, however; some emerging nations’ economies are growing at such a pace that it is leading their central banks to raise interest rates in order to cool their economies and prevent excess inflation.

Global economics will not be the only source of anxiety in 2012. Political events also promise to be intriguing. In the U.S., the presidential election will serve as a backdrop throughout the year, and politicos will begin an early showdown over the payroll tax cut, recently extended only through the end of February. At a time when their government’s AAA credit rating has been questioned, the French

will vet their president, potentially leading to a new power player in the Euro saga alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The beginning of 2012 brings with it a full basket of uncertainties.

BondsBond returns were varied throughout the year, but on the whole were strong. Capital poured into fixed income mutual funds, keeping yields low and generating another solid year of performance. The crisis in Europe drove investors to the perceived quality of U.S. Treasuries, which saw significant price increases. Corporate bonds had mixed results; they began the year close to Treasuries, but posted some negative returns with the flight to quality in the third quarter. The Fed’s actions in the Treasury market through “Operation Twist” helped pull down longer-term interest rates while short-term rates rose marginally.

StocksStocks were volatile throughout the year, but the S&P 500 ended the year marginally positive. High-quality large company stocks outperformed for the year by outpacing mid company and small company stocks and by preserving capital in the down market. Internationally, European stocks fared poorly due to the debt crisis and growth worries, Japan rebounded strongly from the tsunami catas-trophe and the soaring yen, and emerging markets stocks posted some of the worst returns internation-ally as investors shied away from risk.

Quarter2012

2012 will most likely be known to plan sponsors and providers as the “year of fee disclosure.”

Plan ahead to make it a smooth ride, and consider taking the second half of the year to refocus attention on the value of saving and investing for retirement.

1st Make sure you are ready for fee disclosure. Work with your administrator to develop your fee disclosure communication. Develop a plan for how to address participant questions and concerns.

2nd Think about offering direct assistance to help participants understand the fees they are seeing for the first time. You could host seminars, provide individual sessions, or even offer phone consultations. You may be able to avoid issues arising from misunderstandings by being proactive rather than reactive.

3rd Consider hosting a benefits fair or 401(k)/403(b) Day. Remind participants of the value of their retirement plan, and help them learn how to best take advantage of it. By focusing on retirement for a day (or even a week), you can call attention to the importance of:

• Participatingintheplan • Makingthemostofthematch• Calculatingasavingsgoal • Increasingyoursavings• Rebalancingyourportfolio

4th The last quarter of the year will be mostly spent preparing for 2013. This is a great time to conduct participant surveys; the information you receive can help you determine what changes (if any) to plan for the year ahead.

near-zero returns and many funds are forced to credit fees in order to preserve the $1 net asset value.

Low duration funds

Low duration funds invest in a bond portfolio with an average duration of one to three years. Strategies typically target a combination of income and return on capital. Because of their limited duration, low duration funds typically have less interest rate risk than total

return, intermediate, or “aggregate”-based bond funds, but the risk of capital losses exists if interest rates rise.

Blended portfolios

A recordkeeper may be able to commingle or unitize a combination of money market and low duration funds. This solution may be difficult to communicate easily to participants, resulting in lower usage than other options.

created after the debt-ceiling crisis in August, announced in November that it failed tocome to an agreement on a bipartisan solution. The impasse rekindled the long-termfiscal and debt issues in the U.S. A government shutdown became a threat again inDecember before Congress reached a budget deal to keep agencies operating throughSeptember 2012. The central banks of developed nations globally have continuedconcerted monetary stimulus policies to keep rates low and try to facilitate economicactivity.

Analytics News

Bottlenecks = Opportunities

2011 was another challenging year for fundamental equity investors; companies’ stock prices reflected the most recent headline news as opposed to company-specific events. Emotional investors became short-sighted amidst market volatility and risk-on, risk-off trading. We are all keenly aware that this short-term mentality presents challenges for long-term fundamental investors; however, challenges can often create opportunities if you look hard enough. The Analytical Department at Arnerich Massena is tasked with finding what we consider to be the best investment opportunities on a risk-adjusted basis for our clients. With that said, our analysts have been involved in several innovative investment strategies over the course of 2011.

We believe compelling long-term opportunities exist along the theme of population growth and resource scarcity, with a particular focus on the resources people need rather than want (energy, water, food, shelter, to name a few). In order to profit from this theme, we need to determine where and when potential bottlenecks may occur. Research suggests the world population crossed the 7 billion mark and will likely increase to 9 billion by 2050. Research also suggests current world agriculture output will need to double by 2050 to support this growth. Will bottlenecks occur in this area? If so, how can we profit from it? To answer these questions, our analysts traveled to remote areas of Nevada, California, Arizona, and Brazil.

Each of the strategies we analyzed offered various ways to invest in the resources (and bottlenecks) mentioned above. For example, the strategy in Nevada focuses on converting agricultural water to higher-yielding uses. Alternate uses include supplying water-stressed municipalities to support population growth, or industrial uses like pumped-storage hydroelectricity. Brazil also offers compelling investment opportunities. We toured several rice farms, storage facilities, and a processing plant in the “rice belt” of Brazil where very few foreign investors have allocated to date; most foreign investment is being channeled into soybean farms far north of this area. This is an opportunity to own one of the world’s most prominent staple foods: rice. We will continue to vet investment opportunities related to population growth and resource scarcity. 2012 promises to be another interesting year spent sourcing compelling ideas for our clients as our team plans to visit companies and investment managers in Asia and Europe.

Throughout the year, the fixed income space was eventful with the Federal Reserve’squantitative easing, the ongoing crisis in Europe, and investors continuing to seek therelative safety of fixed income assets. Shocks in the economy caused bond returns to varythroughout the year, but on the whole they were strong. The ongoing debt crisis inEurope drove investors to the perceived quality of U.S. Treasuries, which experiencedsignificant price increases. Corporate bonds had mixed results; they began the year closeto Treasuries, but posted negative returns during the flight to quality in the third quarter.Cash management remains a challenge as the yield curve remains steep, with rates nearzero at the short end. Fixed income markets may continue to be active in 2012 due tocontinuing macroeconomic uncertainty. As the year unfolds, investors will be watchingthe unresolved solvency issues surrounding the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and itsimpact on the U.S. fixed income markets. Furthermore, interest rates and inflation remainlooming concerns and may significantly impact fixed income performance in the comingquarters.

U.S. stocks came roaring back in the fourth quarter of 2011 as a sense ofconfidence returned to equity markets. Smaller capitalization stocks led theway during the quarter. Large cap stocks, however, fared significantly betterover the course of the year as investors favored the certainty of establishedcompanies with diversified lines of business over those more susceptible to thewaxes and wanes of the economy. While unemployment levels remainedelevated, U.S. consumers showed a willingness to look past the uncertainty andcontinued to reach into their pockets to spend. Cyclical stocks surged duringthe quarter as Energy, Industrials, and Materials led the rally, while defensivesectors such as Utilities, Consumer Staples, and Healthcare led the way for theyear. Financials continued to epitomize the volatility of the overall market asthe sector gained nearly 11% during the quarter but still declined by 17% forthe year. Stocks essentially ended the year where they began, although dailymarket observers likely suffered a spell of dizziness over that period.

U.S.$ Local Currency

The European sovereign debt crisis continued to dominate headlines and cause distress in capital markets. Proposedsolutions by the European Union were not widely percieved as effective by investors and called into question the long-termviability of the euro. Global markets swayed back and forth on any news regarding Greece, Spain, Italy, or the EU in general.Markets have been running on a “risk-on,” “risk-off” cycle for much of the year, and with that came high market volatility—largely due to news headlines coming out of the Eurozone rather than company fundamentals. The broad internationalmarket, as represented by the MSCI ACWI ex-US, was up 3.8% for the fourth quarter but was down 13.3% for the year,lagging behind the S&P 500 Index by a staggering 8.0% for the quarter and 15.4% for the year. The currency market has beenjust as volatile as equities; the euro rose against the dollar by over 6% in the summer only to end the year down 1.3%. U.S.Treasuries had their best year since 2008 as a flight from the Eurozone’s sovereign debt to the perceived safety of U.S debtcontinued. Emerging market economies have not been spared either; the MSCI Emerging Market Index was up 4.5% for thefourth quarter but down 18.2% for the year. Emerging market economies (Brazil, India, Russia, etc.) are now at a crossroads:They can continue to build their economies using a westernized financial and economic system that is proven but has shownserious flaws, or perhaps choose a more government-controlled economy like China's, which emphasizes more investmentand less consumer spending, and relies on exports to drive economic growth. The economic future continues to lookopaque for much of the international community; there are no easy fixes, and investors should be ready for the long haul asthe global markets attempt to heal.

Auto Enrollment Survey Summary This survey was done to ask state employees what they thought about the possibility of automatically enrolling employees into the Oregon Savings Growth Plan (OSGP), essentially changing the default enrollment decision from an “opt-in” plan to an “opt-out” plan. The idea behind the change is to reduce the analysis paralysis that accompanies retirement saving and to financially benefit state workers. A common regret of retiree-aged workers is wishing they started saving earlier. In that sense, the current system more often hurts than helps a state employee. While the advantages are not immediately obvious, beginning a small deferment early in one’s career pays off. Over 4,500 employees responded. While some were very vocal in their opposition to auto-enrollment, the majority believe it is a good idea. The results are as follows: When asked if state employees felt they were saving enough for retirement:

• 62 percent of all respondents stated that they were not.

Asked if they knew about OSGP:

• 58 percent stated they were already enrolled in OSGP. Of those not

not, 33 percent said they could not afford it, and 30 percent said they didn’t know enough about it. Others responded that they wanted a Roth, some felt overwhelmed by the paperwork, and others thought they weren’t eligible because they were new employees and had not completed their six months.

F “future.” “Need to target new(er) employees and educate them on the importance of starting a plan. The 1% is a good start and is a way to get information to them about options they have about the program. I am one of those staff who are wishing I started sooner in the plan.” “This is a good idea and you should implement it despite protests. The best advice I got as a new hire - years ago from a caring supervisor, was to contribute to my retirement plan.” “Opt-in is the ONLY way enrollment SHOULD BE. Taking from a paycheck without an employee’s full knowledge is tantamount to THEFT. Rarely do clear instructions or options find their way to unaware contributors. WE STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH OPT-OUT.” “Very bad idea all around.” “Great idea to help people establish more for their later years. I just think people can think for themselves and don't like the idea of having deduction just taken out and hope I would remember before 90 days to take action.”

“THANKS YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE MY VOICE HEARD.” “I think the initial automatic enrollment amount should be 2% or 3%, and after 1 year employees should be allowed to increase or decrease that percentage as they choose.” “State Employees' paychecks are already under attack from Health Insurance premiums and Furlough Days. Not to mention the looming 3-6% PERS pick-up that's coming down the road. The overall impact will be, as usual, having to do more with less. This just makes it harder and harder to be able to afford to save, whether it's for retirement, or just a rainy day. Maybe this is all the more reason to encourage people to think, think, think about retirement, and where they'd like to be when they get there... They won't regret it!” “This process, if passed will eliminate procrastination of initial enrollment. Thanks.” “I think auto enrollment is a bad idea. Give the employees credit for being able to make good decisions for themselves given adequate information.” “It is a personal decision. I don't think the state has the right to demand someone set up a savings program. It is good information to provide and I do share what I do with others but it is still their choice.” “This is a great idea! I think people need a reality check when it comes to saving for retirement. OSGP would be well advised to hire people very skilled at communicating to young/new employees about the realities of paying for retirement.” “If the automatic enrollment does not get approved, then all new employees should receive some literature about the program and an email with clear and easy instructions on how to sign up. Investment examples would help ‘sell’ the idea to people. I really

appreciate the efforts OSGP has undergone to get the word out to employees. I brought Justin into our office to provide training and it was very useful.” “Leave my money alone!” “I believe you need to do a better job of communicating the severe problems associated with not having adequately prepared for retirement. It is absolutely devastating!” “My biggest concern is that during times of pay freezes and/or furloughs, an automatic escalation would be a huge burden on the employees. I could only support the program if escalations can be suspended during those times. I also don't like to limit the ‘opt out’ alternative to the first 90 days of employment. A year would be better.” “OSGP is a great program. Many of my coworkers choose to ignore it. If you have the budget, find a way to promote it more heavily.” “Thanks for asking for feedback.” “I find the thought of making this program an opt-out program bad. I find the thought of automatic contribution increases appalling.” Questions and comments from respondents: I was never told about OSGP when I was hired. OSGP sends plan information to HR departments across the state. We count on them to provide this information to new employees. We also send out welcome postcard to new hires. OSGP offers workshops across the state and employees can register on-line at: http://www.oregon.gov/PERS/OSGP/section/2012_osgp_workshop.shtml

I would like to see a Roth account. OSGP is adding a Roth 457 in 2012. Watch for more information about this new provision next year. It should be available on or about July 1. One of my family members is a teacher for the state of OR and has the opportunity to participate in a Roth 403-b, and I would like to know why I don't also have that option. As indicated in the response above, OSGP will be offering a Roth 457 in 2012. Participants will be able to contribute the maximum allowable limit to the Roth 457 ($17,000 in 2012) in the same manner they currently do on a pre-tax basis. I would consider enrolling and supporting your proposal if there were socially responsible options. While OSGP does not offer a socially responsible option at this time, you can find those options in the Self-Directed Brokerage Option which offers more than 6,000 mutual funds and ETFs. I am unsure how to invest. It is confusing to me. OSGP offers workshops on the investments in the plan. You can also call our office at any time, and staff will go over the funds with you. Why would you do this? Statistics tell us that people are not saving enough for retirement. Survey respondents indicated that 60 percent of them felt they were not saving enough. Even public employees, who have a pension plan, need to have personal savings along with the PERS plan and Social Security to ensure a financially sound retirement. We heard from many participants who said they didn’t even know about OSGP, and that they wish they would have gotten into the plan sooner.



Helping state employees save for retirement is the only reason we would have for opening this discussion. OSGP has nothing to gain from auto-enrollment and no outside entity is pushing this. Why are you promoting OSGP over some other investment? OSGP is the only employer-sponsored voluntary plan offered to state employees. The plan offers low fees and a diversified investment line-up. For example, the fees on the target date funds are only 10 basis points. Employees are free to choose whatever investment vehicle they want on their own, and many of our participants in the local government and education sector have several choices offered by their employers. I answered the questions assuming that a person could "opt-out" of continuing to contribute earnings at any time. Is that correct? Yes, it is. Even if an employee missed the 90-day window to opt out, he/she could stop contributing to the account at any time. When can we expect to be able to transfer 100% of our account to the Self-Directed Brokerage Option (SDBO)? OSGP and Treasury made the decision to allow a transfer of 50 percent of a participant’s OSGP account in to the SDBO. There is no possibility of allowing 100 percent of the account to be transferred, as you are still responsible for administrative fees, and so a portion would have to be available in the core funds to pay these fees. Treasury may consider allowing a larger percentage sometime in the future. Other investment options may also become available. Is this deduction pre-tax dollars? Yes, the plan is currently a pre-tax plan. However, in 2012, we will also offer a Roth, and the employee could choose whether they wanted pre-tax or after-tax dollars.

If your question wasn’t answered, or if you have any further comments or suggestions, send them to [email protected] keep your comments professional and related to auto-enrollment. OSGP staff will respond within two business days.

Update your beneficiaryIt is important to keep your beneficiary form up to date. If you

choose the standard designation, your account would go first to

your spouse, then to your child or children, then to your parents,

your siblings, and, finally, to your estate.

When you designate beneficiaries, consider naming both the primary

and contingent beneficiaries who would receive your OSGP account

benefits in the event of your death.

Your primary beneficiary is the person or persons designated as the first to receive the proceeds of your account upon your death.

The contingent beneficiary receives the benefit only if the primarybeneficiaries die before you.

Be sure to update your beneficiary in the event of a divorce,

marriage, or birth of a child. To update your beneficiary information:

• Download the Beneficiary Designation Form at

http://osgp.ingplans.com or call (800) 365-8494to request the form.

• Complete and return the Beneficiary Designation Form to OSGP, 800 Summer Street NE, Suite 200, Salem, OR 97301.

To review your current beneficiary form, you will need to submit a

written request to OSGP. Because this can be time-consuming, it

is easier to simply complete a new form since the information you

provide will override any previous beneficiary form you have on file

at OSGP.
