Consolidate your retirement plan account(s)
into the SFDCP today!
More than one retirement account?
Many people have more than one tax-deferred savings/
investment account. Trouble is, having multiple accounts
may mean having to deal with several statements,
multiple record keepers, and very different investments.
It’s difficult to see the big picture when you’re looking at
several separate pieces.
Consider consolidating.
By consolidating your tax-deferred assets into the SFDCP,
it’s easier to manage your retirement strategy and see how
you’re doing.

Advantages of consolidating your
retirement accounts
GOOD NEWS
You may have multiple accounts from other qualified retirement plans
(e.g., IRAs or plans sponsored by prior employers such as 401(k)s, 403(b)s or 457s).
BETTER NEWS You may be able to simplify managing those assets—by consolidating.
GREAT NEWS
You may be able to consolidate those accounts into the City and County of San
Francisco Deferred Compensation Plan and take advantage of all the benefits the
SFDCP has to offer.
Gateway to your Future
The SFDCP Target Date Funds are designed to simplify the way participants invest their retirement savings. Participants
simply select one diversified Target-Date Fund based upon their projected retirement year. This relieves participants of the
need to select multiple individual funds and monitor and manage reallocations among those multiple funds. Each Target-
Date Fund includes investments from the existing SFDCP core funds plus new asset classes, which provide additional
diversification.* The date in a Target-Date Fund name represents an approximate date when an investor expects to retire.
The principal value of the funds is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date.
SFDCP Target Date Funds
The target date is the approximate date when investors plan to start withdrawing their money. The asset allocation of the
target date funds will become more conservative as the target date approaches by lessening your equity exposure and
increasing your exposure in fixed income type investments. The principal value of an investment in a target date fund is
not guaranteed at any time, including the target date.
*Diversification of an investment portfolio does not ensure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets.
All investing involves various risks, such as; fixed income (interest rate), default, small cap, international and sector ‐ including the possible loss of principal.
1. One-stop shopping—Each Target-Date Fund is a well-
diversified mix of underlying stock and bond investments.
The investment mix becomes more conservative (fewer
stocks and more bonds) as the target date is approached.
By choosing a Target-Date Fund for retirement savings,
participants gain the benefit of investment diversification
in a single option.
2. Automatic reallocation—Target-Date Funds
automatically reduce stock holdings and increase bond
holdings over time to help ensure that the allocation
remains on track to help participants achieve their long-
term investment strategy for their projected retirement
year.

Your Gateway to Roth…
is coming May 1st
In addition to traditional pre-tax contributions, you will
soon have the option to make Roth after-tax contributions
to your SFDCP account.
Benefits include:
• Earnings accrue tax-free.
• Withdrawals of Roth contributions are always 100% federal
income tax-free, because you already paid income tax on your
Roth contributions.
• Roth earnings can be withdrawn tax-and penalty-free, if the
withdrawal is qualified.*
• The annual contribution limit within your SFDCP account—
$17,500 for 2014—includes pre-tax contributions, Roth
contributions, or a combination of both. This is significantly
higher than the Roth IRA contribution limit of $5,500.**

PROGRAM
>>> THE RIGHT DIRECTION
Let’s face it, life can be hectic. You’re busy doing important things at work, at home,
and with your family and friends. It can be easy to forget about watching out for your
safety or your plans for the future—like increasing your contributions to the MTA
Deferred Compensation Program.
Increasing contributions to the Program is important because contributing more helps
you “Watch YOUR Gap” between what you’re saving now and your potential for
reaching the secure financial future you want and deserve. And the sooner you start
increasing your contributions, the longer your money has to work for you.
Take small steps today
When you increase your contributions in small steps, you have the potential to make a considerable impact on
your retirement income—without a considerable impact on your paycheck. Increasing your contributions by just
1% a year can have noticeable results:
