Employee Asset Allocation Solutions

Today's participants often want more investment advice. By choosing AeA/ING Investment Solution Portfolios, you are giving your employees a clear, simple choice about how to invest their plan assets.

Rather than investing in individual securities, these portfolios invest in an underlying portfolio of investment options. Your employees may choose a portfolio based on their investment goals. Professional fund managers allocate the portfolio among asset classes and specific funds.

A New Approach to Enrollment
 

One Underlying Question

"Do you want to create monitor
and rebalance your own investment mix,
or are you more comfortable letting
the professionals do it for you?"

Enrollment is the stage at which your employees have the most concerns and want clear direction. ING's new enrollment process uses a tiered approach to help employees make decisions by answering the question above.

 Each employee will be able to select the investment strategy that works best for his or her own comfort level.

  • Enrollment guide, providing a wealth of detailed worksheets and information
     
     
  • Membership card, giving employees direction about where to find information about their plan

     
  • Posters and payroll stuffers, customizable to your plan, to promote enrollment and participation
