RICHARD H. MOORE 325 NORTH SALISBURY STREET
STATE TREASURER RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27603-1385
April 23, 2003
Dear North Carolina State and Local Government Employees:
On behalf of the Board of Trustees governing the Retirement Systems, I am excited to
announce that the NC 401(k) plan will be administered by Prudential Retirement Services beginning in
September 2003. This change will mean a higher level of service and a 24 percent reduction in fees
for members of the 401(k) plan, such as yourself. Prudential’s team will include
twelve field staff working across North Carolina, all of who will be licensed to offer financial education to members of the
plan. Prudential will also offer GoalMaker, an easy-to-use program, which will help members in selecting a mix of
investments for their retirement portfolio.
The current 401(k) administrator, BB&T, will begin working with the State Retirement System
and Prudential immediately to ensure a smooth transition in September. BB&T has been a strong
partner of the State Retirement System since the inception of the 401(k) plan in 1985 and we are
grateful for their work in building the plan into the valuable resource it is today.
The State is required to put out to bid the 401(k) contract approximately every five years. As
mandated by law, the State undertook a competitive bidding process, during which it evaluated a
number of company proposals. In making this decision, the Board of Trustees considered several
factors: cost to the member, customer service, investment choices and available technology. When
the process concluded, Prudential Retirement Services emerged as the best value for 401(k)
plan members by offering more services at a lower cost.
Since the transition will not take place until September, members do not need to take any
action now. In partnership with the State Retirement System, Prudential will begin an aggressive
communications effort to inform current and prospective members of the change and the opportunities
associated with this transition. I hope you share my excitement in welcoming Prudential as a valued partner in helping you
accomplish your retirement goals. Please visit www.treasurer.state.nc.us
for more information on the transition. This site will be updated throughout the next few months as more information becomes
available.
Sincerely,
Michael Williamson
Director of the State Retirement Systems Division
