What makes a PARS 457 plan different?

Not all public agencies and their employees are alike. Whether you’re a school district looking for an alternative to a 403(b) plan or a municipality looking for an additional or sole 457 provider, the PARS 457 plan is a unique plan that takes into consideration the differences in agency needs and requirements, along with the individual investment needs of its employees.

The PARS 457 plan investment policy requires investments that conform to a standard well above those common in the 457 marketplace. Because PARS operates on a transparent, fee-for-service basis, if a fund offers revenue sharing, then it is used to directly offset plan expenses.

And there is no conflict of interest. Neither PARS nor the investment consultant is affiliated with any of the investment funds in the portfolio. This enables the agency to offer its employees some of the lowest cost, best performing mutual funds available.
