14. Initiatives by National Tax-deferred Savings Association (NTSA) 14

15. NTSA Began talking about Automatic Enrollment in 2014 Created a task force in Winter of 2015 to research the use of auto-enrollment plans for Non-ERISA employers –Consisted of TPAs, NTSA legal counsel, nationally recognized investment advisors Established Best Practices guide published in May 2015 A main meeting topic at national conference in June 2015 15

16. NTSA Our view –Good overall message –Good employee communication layout –Good information on considerations prior to implementation Our approach more focused –Focused on pure Automatic Enrollment We think Acknowledged Enrollment best –Referenced advisors providing program We think TPA is only one to provide unbiased and effective program 16

17. Federal Thrift Savings Program (FTSP) 17

18. FTSP Comments from Renee Wilder, Director –Office of Enterprise Planning for the FTSP Board –The Federal Agency that administers the Thrift Savings Plan “In 2010 we introduced Automatic Enrollment to all employees in the Federal Government’s Thrift Plan. There were many issues, which all got worked out and today the employees and employee groups are happy with the program. As previously stated, less than 4% opt out.” 18

19. FTSP Quick facts Enabling authorization with the TSP Enhancement Act of 2009 – an amount up to 5% Automatic enrollment implemented August 2010 3% level established but legislation required default investment of the G Fund (special Treasury securities) Legislation passed 2014 authorizing default investment into the age appropriate Lifecycle fund – change to be implemented before sept 18 of this year Auto-enrollment has captured approximately 96-97% of all new federal employees (excluding the uniformed services). In other words, less than 4% opt-out Many of those auto-enrolled have not made other allocations or increases in contributions Those who have made changes have largely increased their contribution levels Auto-enroll is a major win. Participants like it and it gives us the opportunity to reach out and encourage many people to save and increase (many of whom would not have been saving) 19

20. Progress by TSACG 20

21. Progress Several Florida districts have taken it to their unions and have received support for our method of enrollment One district asked for a legal opinion on the use of our methodology not being in conflict with the State of Florida wage and garnishment statues. We have secured that opinion. 21
