New tab on the DAP homepage – DAP Enhancements

Wednesday, May 18th, 2016

There is a new tab on the homepage of your www.dapretirement.com web site. All of the communication for the important enhancements coming to your DAP 401(k) Plan this fall will be available here! The updates we’re making are the result of a comprehensive review by our investment consultant and the DAP Board of Directors. We will, of course, continue to offer participants our very popular DAP Stable Value Option and the four Model Portfolios. The enhancements will provide a simplified fund selection, broad solutions for all types of investors, and maximize cost effectiveness for affordability.

Your first quarter Heads Up newsletter was posted to this page already. It introduced you to the enhancements with a letter from the Chairman of the Board. You will receive the second quarter Heads Up newsletter the week of July 20th. This newsletter will outline what is happening, when, and describe the new fund lineup. You will receive a detailed brochure in August that will review the information covered in your Heads Up newsletters. It will also provide information describing how your investments and contributions will be mapped to the new funds (does not apply to the Stable Value Option, the Model Portfolios or the Brokerage Option). You will learn how to take action if you want to change your investments prior to the fund changes. This brochure will also highlight key dates for certain transactions prior to the quiet periods. We will also mail you a reminder in September. Again, all of these mailings will be posted under this new tab named “DAP Enhancements”.

I look forward to sharing more detailed information with you this summer about these exciting updates!

Manager Change in the Growth Stock Option

Monday, May 9th, 2016

The Marsico Focus Fund was terminated and removed from the Growth Stock Option on 4/29/16. The fund was terminated due to consistent under performance to the fund benchmark.  The funds were moved into the Growth Stock Option’s index fund – BlackRock Growth Index until the board finds a suitable replacement fund.  The new Growth Stock Option target allocation is as follows:

Manager  Previous Target Allocation  New Target Allocation effective 4/29/16
