Important considerations before deciding to move funds either into or out of a Corebridge Retirement Services account
There are many things to consider. For starters, you will want to carefully review and compare your existing account and the new account, including: fees and charges; guarantees and benefits; and, any limitations under either of the accounts. Also, you will want to know whether a surrender of your current account could result in charges. Your financial professional can help you review these and other important considerations. Consult a tax professional before making a decision to move funds either into or out of a Corebridge account.
Tax-free loans make it possible for you to access your account, subject to certain limitations, without permanently reducing your account balance. Defaulted loan amounts (not repaid on time) will be taxed as ordinary income and may be subject to a 10% federal early withdrawal tax penalty if you are under age 59½.
Performance
You decide how to invest all contributions among the mutual funds and the Fixed-Interest Option* offered under the 403(b) Plan for Employees of Oklahoma City Community College.
The wide array of mutual fund investment options available in your 403(b) retirement plan will provide you with the flexibility you need to create a suitably diversified portfolio that matches your personal retirement time horizon, investment risk tolerance and investment preferences.
* Policy Form series GFUA-315, a group fixed unallocated annuity issued by The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company, Houston, Texas.
Remember, this plan represents a long-term investment. Investment values of the mutual funds you choose will fluctuate, and there is no assurance that the objective of any fund will be achieved. Mutual fund shares are redeemable at the then-current net asset value, which may be more or less than the original cost. Bear in mind that investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
Fixed-Interest Option
Generally, participants may transfer assets from the Fixed-Interest Option into equity options at any time and, after 90 days, from equity options into another fixed-income option such as a money market fund, a stable value fund or certain short-term bond funds, if such "competing options" are allowed in the plan.

Administrative fee
The gross annual administrative fee assessed on mutual fund assets in the plan is 0.15%. This may be offset, in whole or in part, by reimbursement received from mutual fund companies. Additionally, mutual fund annual operating expenses apply based on the funds chosen. Mutual fund expenses and fund reimbursements are described in the prospectus.
Fee transparency
AIG Retirement Services provides fee transparency by outlining all revenue sources and plan fees in the Fee Disclosure document.
Fee equalization
Administrative fees for plan services if applicable are assessed to each participant in the plan. These fees are structured in proportion to each participant’s account balance so that expenses are equitably distributed among participants. This method of fee equalization includes revenue sharing from some mutual funds and reimburses the applicable portion to participants who are invested in those funds.
