​​About our fees

Local Unions Retirement Income Program fees

It’s important that members understand how investment expenses work. As part of our retirement workshops, we educate members about the impact that investment expenses have on retirement accounts. According to attendee surveys, this has been the most eye-opening feature of our workshops.

Whether you are about to retire and are looking for a place to rollover your pension and 401(k), or are years away from retirement, we encourage you to gain a better understanding of the different types of expenses associated with your investments.

The Elite Portfolios in the Local Unions Retirement Income Program utilize mutual funds with low annual expenses, with no upfront sales charges or withdrawal charges.*
