Prudential Information
Effective on April 7, 2020, Prudential will no longer be a recordkeeper within the UVM 403(b) Retirement Plan (the Plan). As a part of the streamlining of the Plan and with the help of our independent investment advisor, Cammack Retirement Group, the decision has been made to transition all Prudential accounts to a new Fidelity account in the second quarter of 2020. You do have the choice to proactively move your current account to Fidelity or TIAA before 4:00 p.m. on April 7, 2020.
