austin3515 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Are there any investment restrictions regarding how a 457b for a tax exempt organization can be invested? This plan covers just the CEO. For example, can they invest in stocks, bonds, ETF's etc, or does it have to be exclusively mutual funds or insurance products, etc. Any sites you can provide regarding restrictions would be very helpful.

Carol V. Calhoun Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 In theory, a 457(b) for a nongovernmental tax-exempt is never "invested." That is because under ERISA, such a plan must be an unfunded plan. While in some instances, a trust is set up to measure the benefits, such a trust must be subject to the claims of the employer's creditors, and is therefore considered an employer investment, not a plan investment. As such, it can be invested in any investment which would be permissible for the employer.

QDROphile Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 In other words, there are no 457(b) plan funds to invest. It is the employer's money to do with as the employer is allowed.
