Manager Changes in September

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

The following manager changes took place in September 2008. In the Stable Value Option, the Dreyfus Govt. Money Market Fund was replaced with the Dreyfus Cash Management Fund. The Value Stock Option was rebalanced to decrease the target allocation of JP Morgan Large Cap Value from 20 percent to 15 percent. As a result, T. Rowe Price Value was increased from a 15 percent to 20 percent allocation. A new fund, Brown Capital Mgmt. Small Co. Instl. was added to the Diversified Small Co. Stock Option.  This new fund was given a 10 percent allocation in the option while iShares Morningstar Small Cap Growth Index was reduced from a 15 percent to 5 percent allocation. These recent manager changes are shown in the tables below:
