Meet Your Clients' Needs With Stable Value Funds

Stable value funds are a great option for people focused on saving for retirement. You’re probably familiar with these benefits:

• Low risk
• Preservation of principal and accumulated interest
• Liquidity

A stable value fund differs from a money market fund in a significant way — it includes a guaranteed rate of return on the investment. And, historically, stable value funds have had higher returns than money market funds.

We surveyed plan participants and here’s what they said after looking at the performance history of stable value funds:

• About half said they’d choose a stable value fund over a money market fund. Only 35% said they would choose a money market fund over a stable value fund.
• 55% said a guaranteed return on investment was the most important feature of a cash equivalent investment.
