25 Schools District Sold A Ridiculosly High Cost Retirement Plan

Press Release - RSG Elite Choice

Perhpas the most scary observation was the following from this press release:

"Denise Smith, Director of Human Resources for the Imperial County Office of Education says, "We found that Elite Choice offered the most comprehensive and competitively priced program. Elite Choice is a total solution for the district and employers. Elite Choice quite simply fits our needs, and so far has exceeded our expectations."

I've reviewed this Elite Choice plan and found it to be among the most expensive retirement options ever offered. The claim that this plan meets a districts fiduciary responsibility is laughable as the fees are absolutely outrageous.

If you've adopted this plan as a district you can expect to pay about 3% in fees annually.
