Benefits of Contributing to a 401(k) plan

There are many great benefits to being a participant in the Cision US, Inc. Retirement Plan and Trust. Among those benefits is exceptional customer service— online or by phone. In fact, you can count on your company and Fidelity to help support you every step of the way.

Best practices to consider:

  • The impact of an early start. Your decision to start today could give you quite a bit more at retirement than starting five years from now.
  • Contribute as much as you can. That amount can take you a long way toward reaching your financial goals.
  • Do what you can afford. Start at a number that feels comfortable to you. You can always change it later. The important thing is to invest what you can afford and start right away.
  • Invest more in your plan, pay less in taxes. Your pretax contributions come out of your pay before income taxes are taken out. You can actually lower your current taxes by investing in the plan today.

Find out how simple it can be to enroll, manage your account, and take advantage of what your company and Fidelity have to offer.

Your Investment Options

Choose the plans funds

Fidelity provides a number of investment funds so you can build a portfolio that fits your needs. If you’re not sure where to begin, consider a Target Retirement Trust. You select a fund named for a year close to when you expect to retire, and that fund’s mix of stocks, bonds and other investments automatically becomes more conservative as the target year approaches.

Invest on your own

Before investing in any investment option, consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a mutual fund prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.

You can spread your investments among several options to take advantage of what each has to offer and help balance different types of risk. Reviewing this information can help you understand and compare your options. For more complete information about any of the mutual funds available through the plan, including fees and expenses, log on to Fidelity NetBenefits at 401k.com for prospectuses. Read them carefully before you invest.
