1 Neither Wachovia Bank, N.A. nor any of its affiliates, including employees and representatives, may provide "investment advice" to any participant or beneficiary regarding the investment of assets in an employer sponsored retirement plan.
2 Such consulting services do not constitute tax or legal advice. Employers should contact their own tax advisor or legal counsel as needed.
3 AdviceTrack gives participants the opportunity to provide us with more information about their personal situation, including, but not limited to, other retirement plan assets, their spouse's/partner's retirement plan assets, and other outside assets available for retirement use. If participants provide that information, we will use it to create investment strategies that are more closely matched to their needs. Participants are not required to provide this information, but are strongly encouraged to do so. If the participant does not provide the additional information, we will develop an investment strategy that is based solely on the information available to us, which generally is limited to age, gender, assumed years to retirement, current salary, current savings rate and account balance. That strategy might be materially different from the one that we would have recommended if the participant had provided us with all the requested information.
