Fund Profiles are Going Green

As an organization, The Standard is committed to finding new and positive ways to help build a more sustainable future.

For the past several months, we’ve been working diligently with our vendor partner, Morningstar, to review the content of our current Fund Profiles. The review is part of an overall effort to reduce the amount of paper we utilize in all of our communication materials.

As a result, enrollment books will now contain resized Fund Profiles pages that are half page instead of full page. The fund profiles will continue to provide the critical and essential information necessary to help employees make appropriate investment decisions. Participants seeking more detailed fund information will be able to find expanded Fund Profiles online through Personal Savings Center.

Our new online fund profiles will offer more information than previously offered online. In addition, we will transition from quarterly to monthly updates so that participants will have access to more current fund information.

We are pleased to announce that our new “greener” enrollment booklets and online enhancements will be available sometime during the first quarter of this year. This is just one example of an easy and immediate way we can support a greener world together.
