The Tufts University Basic Retirement Plan and Voluntary Retirement Plan can help you build substantial savings for your retirement years. These are savings and investment plans that qualify for special federal tax treatment. The tax-advantaged status of these plans make them an invaluable investment tool. Over your career, these plans along with Social Security and personal savings, will enable you to build a substantial, secure and reliable retirement income by the time you reach normal retirement age.
You may invest your Basic and Voluntary Retirement Plan contributions to Fidelity Custodial Accounts and/or TIAA-CREF Annuity Contracts. These are the organizations that provide investment services for employees who participate in the retirement plans.
