ING Launches New Web-Tool That Connects the Power of ‘Peer Comparison’ to Retirement Saving

ING Launches New Web-Tool That Connects the Power of ‘Peer Comparison’ to Retirement Saving











ING Logo


(Vocus) March 17, 2009

In today’s economy, it’s more important than ever to find helpful ways to save for long-term financial goals such as retirement.

Now, a free web-tool from ING offers a new approach to retirement saving by leveraging the power of “Peer Comparison.” The tool — http://www.INGCompareMe.com — makes it possible for anyone to see where they stand in relation to others on a wide range of saving, spending, investing, debt and personal finance matters.

By relying on peer data, the tool provides an objective way for users to gauge their own financial status and, ultimately, take action. For example, if investors determine they’ve saved less in their workplace retirement plans than their counterparts, it may inspire them to save more. If they come out ahead of the curve, it may encourage them to continue their good habits.

“At ING, we recognize that many Americans aren’t sure where to begin when it comes to retirement saving. The current financial markets may have gotten them even more confused or frustrated,” said Richard Mason, president of corporate markets for ING U.S. Retirement Services. “We believe INGCompareMe.com offers a unique and easy way for investors to begin thinking about retirement and how to reach their goals. From what we know about peer comparison, when individuals benchmark themselves to others it increases the chance that they will act on those comparisons.”

Users who log onto INGCompareMe.com create a profile by entering some simple background information, along with optional details, such as their hobbies and interests. They can then access a number of different personal finance categories, answer a variety of straightforward questions, and quickly find out how they compare to people just like them. No names, email addresses or identification is requested, so the process is completely anonymous.

For more information about INGCompareMe.com, ING will conduct a brief webinar presentation on Tuesday, March 24 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. You can access the webinar at:

Access to Web Presentation:     http://premiere.acrobat.com/ING

Dial-in for Audio Conference:    Toll free: 1-800-214-0745

Participant Pass code: 597452

ING’s new web-tool was initially populated with data from a survey conducted by the ING Institute for Retirement Research. The survey polled over 5,000 adults who participated in workplace retirement savings plans.1 These individuals were asked more than 150 questions on various financial matters. The goal was to identify characteristics that might affect personal savings behavior, and find patterns that reveal why some do better or worse than their peers.

For example, the survey found that those who spent more time thinking about and planning for their retirement — including spending time with a financial professional — were also saving more in their workplace retirement plans. In fact, savers who spent a lot more time with a financial professional accumulated 60% more than those who did not spend any time. Even savers that spent some time with a professional accumulated 40% more than those who did not spend any time.

In addition to the survey data, visitors to INGCompareMe.com are incorporating their information into the tool, building scale and expanding its power over time. A mechanism is in place to remove older data so that the comparisons reflect current market conditions.

Besides satisfying one’s curiosity, the tool offers users a chance to take action. If someone wants to ask a question or simply discuss their unique circumstance, they can call or e-mail ING specialists. Financial professionals can use INGCompareMe.com with their clients, to help start a conversation about creating a sound retirement plan. The tool is also a resource for employers who sponsor ING-administered retirement plans for their employees.

“At ING, we’re always looking to make things easier for our customers and our business partners. And we’re always listening to what they care most about,” noted Mason. “Ultimately, we want to help more Americans save for their retirement. If visitors are encouraged to do that through this tool, then we’re getting them one step closer to their goals.”

1 The ING study on Insights into Defined Contribution Savings Behavior was conducted in conjunction with Greenfield Online. Respondents were required to be participants in a workplace retirement savings plan and actively involved in household finance decisions. Answers were collected through two separate online survey panels, which yielded a total of 5,165 valid respondents. The first survey was conducted in August 2008 and the second survey was conducted in September 2008. More than 150 questions about savings, spending, investing, debt and financial planning were asked. The goal was to obtain an understanding of positive and negative characteristics affecting comparative savings behavior and accumulated savings. An ordered multi-factor regression analysis was used to correlate time contributing, income and number of dependents to expected savings, with 99.9% statistical significance (excluding age).

Q&A: Comparison Funds that track TSP Funds?

Question by Eric M: Comparison Funds that track TSP Funds?
TSP Funds aren’t listed like normal traded Mutual Funds; so it’s often difficult to get comparative information for them. What funds do the TSP I Fund, S Fund, and L-series Funds track?

Best answer:

Answer by Joe
You can track most of these funds directly at the tsp.gov site. Try cutting and pasting the link below into your browser.

www.tsp.gov/faq/faq4.html#sub1

Quoting from the website:

“You can track the F, C, S, and I Funds on a daily basis by going to the Returns & Share Prices page on this Web site. (You can see the status of the index that each fund tracks by looking at those indices in newspapers or on the Internet.)

The F Fund tracks the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate (LBA) index. Although most newspapers do not publish the daily LBA index values or returns, they can be found on the first inside news page of the Wall Street Journal’s Money & Investing section. Information on returns is also published on the Lehman Brothers Web site at www.lehman.com.”

RidgeWorth Investments Launches Interactive Mid-Cap Comparison Tool on addmidcap.com

RidgeWorth Investments Launches Interactive Mid-Cap Comparison Tool on addmidcap.com












Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 12, 2010

RidgeWorth Investments announced it has launched a mid-cap comparison tool to show investors the advantages of mid-cap investing, which is important because many investors don’t have specific allocations to mid-cap mutual funds.

The tool makes it easy for investors to compare mid-cap stocks to small-, smid- and large-cap stocks for any time period up to 30-years and see for themselves the potential value that mid-cap funds could have added to a portfolio.

http://addmidcap.com/compare-mid-caps

“Mid-caps historically have done very well coming out of market bottoms,” said Don Wordell, portfolio manager of the RidgeWorth Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund. “Right now is a great time to consider mid-cap mutual funds, and this tool may help investors see that.”

The new mid-cap comparison tool will let investors:

    Compare mid-cap to small-, smid- and large-cap
    View mid-cap performance at or near important market events
    Customize the timeline and zoom in for more specific data

Mid-cap investments are often ignored in basic asset-allocation models despite their history of long-term performance and consistency. By making this mid-cap comparison tool publicly available, RidgeWorth hopes to see more investors take advantage of mid-cap mutual funds.

About RidgeWorth Investments

RidgeWorth Investments serves as a holding company that owns interests in eight investment boutiques with approximately $ 61.5 billion of assets under management as of June 30, 2010*. RidgeWorth’s investment boutiques manage a wide variety of investment disciplines across the fixed income, equity, and liquidity management asset classes. Our boutiques provide investment management services to a growing client base that includes endowments, foundations, corporations, healthcare organizations, municipalities, public funds, associations, insurance companies, labor unions and high net worth individuals.

RidgeWorth Investments is a trade name for RidgeWorth Capital Management, Inc., an investment advisor registered with the SEC headquartered in Atlanta.

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Mid capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure.

Small capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies generally have a risk of failure.

Indexes are unmanaged and investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Large Cap – Russell 1000 Index measures the performance of the large cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, representing approximately 92% of the U.S. market.

Small Cap – Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the small cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, representing approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of that index.

Smid Cap – Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, commonly referred to as “smid” cap. It represents approximately 2500 of the smallest securities.
