BAC SAVE Annuity Posts 7.25% Return for 2016, Adding New Participating Locals

2017 Issue 3
International Funds

The assets of the BAC SAVE RSP annuity plan now total more than $150 million and cover more than 18,000 participants in 29 Local Unions. The annuity’s 2016 annual yield was a healthy 7.25%, with an average annual yield since inception at 5.28%. New participating jurisdictions include the Tennessee Chapters of Local 8 Southeast, Local 52 Ohio, and the Utah Chapter of the Mountain West Administrative District Council (MW ADC). The former BAC Local 15-11 Florida Annuity Plan merged into the BAC SAVE RSP effective March 1, 2017, granting those participants access to the RSP’s hardship withdrawal provisions. In addition to financial hardship and inactive benefits, participants wishing to receive a distribution from their accounts are offered several payment options, including joint and survivor, single life annuities, monthly installments, lump sums, and rollover options at retirement.
