University of Cincinnati Alternative Retirement Plan (401a)
Employees of Ohio public colleges and universities do not participate in the federal Social Security system other than contributions to Medicare. From your initial date of hire, you are assigned one of the Ohio state retirement systems. Based on your job classification you are covered by either the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS, for faculty positions) or the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS, for non-faculty positions).
The Alternative Retirement Plan (ARP) is an alternative to OPERS/STRS for eligible faculty and staff. In order to be eligible to participate in the ARP, your appointment must be 100% FTE. (You must work full-time.) The ARP provides a retirement investment program that provides you with a cash account when you leave the University of Cincinnati. The account is portable as you are immediately vested in your contributions and the university's contributions to your account.

Learn the plan basics - including eligibility - of each retirement savings plan offered by your employer.
If you are a full-time (100% full-time equivalent) employee, you can elect to change from the applicable state retirement system (STRS or OPERS) to the Alternative Retirement Plan (ARP). Within 120 days of your eligible appointment date you must complete a Retirement Program Election form to make your choice between the ARP or remain with your assigned state retirement system (OPERS or STRS). During this election period, your retirement funds are deposited with OPERS or STRS and will stay with OPERS or STRS unless you elect the ARP. This decision will impact your retirement income and cannot be changed while you are employed at the University. Your election is irrevocable.
Upon choosing to participant in the ARP Plan, you will generally begin to see contributions deducted from your paycheck in the next pay period, or as soon as administratively possible. There is no deferral election necessary. Mandatory deferral rates for the Plan are set by the state of Ohio.
All plan participants may choose a retirement service provider (AXA-Equitable, Fidelity Investments, TIAA or VOYA) online by logging in at the top of this website. You can also call 800-343-0860 to choose a provider.
Investment elections are made through your chosen retirement service provider.
Access to your account is available on line or by phone through your chosen service provider (AXA-Equitable, Fidelity, TIAA or VOYA).

Before investing, consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund or annuity and its investment options. Call or write to Fidelity or visit Fidelity.com for a free prospectus and, if available, summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
** The current yield of the money market mutual fund listed above reflects the current earnings of the fund, while the total return refers to a specific past holding period.
*** The yield without applicable waivers or reimbursements, whenever Fidelity is subsidizing all or a portion of the fund's expenses as of the current reporting period. Absent such waivers or reimbursements, the returns would have been lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements may be discontinued any time.
Investing involves risk, including risk of loss.
Footnotes 1, 2, 3 and 4 below pertain to the performance tables located on the Investment Options tab:
1 Stock markets are volatile and can fluctuate significantly in response to company, industry, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Investing in stock involves risks, including the loss of principal.
2Total returns are historical and include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. These figures do not include the effect of sales charges, if any, as these fees are waived for contributions made through your retirement plan. If sales charges were included, returns would have been lower. Life of fund figures are from the inception date to the period shown. For unitized funds, the inception date shown may be that of the fund's underlying investment option. For non-mutual fund pools and trusts whose strategies may be offered to multiple clients, and whose returns may be based on a composite, the inception date shown may be the beginning date of the composite's returns.
3In general, the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so holding them until maturity to avoid losses caused by price volatility is not possible.
4Target Date Funds are an asset mix of stocks, bonds and other investments that automatically becomes more conservative as the fund approaches its target retirement date and beyond. Principal invested is not guaranteed.
