The staff manages and administers the Program with public employees' best interests in mind. External managers professionally manage the Program's investment options. Investment options are selected and monitored by the Board and its independent investment consultant.The Program provides participants with educational tools, a diverse set of investment options, flexible savings and withdrawal options, as well as portability when changing jobs within the public sector.
