Ongoing Retirement Savings Contribution Campaign

We would like to encourage clergy participating in CRSP to keep their financial future in mind during their annual compensation conversations with their Staff-Parish Relations Committee. To that end, we sent this eblast to approximately 4,170 clergy contributing less than 4% of their pay to UMPIP according to our records. The eblast encourages them to make a personal contribution of at least 4% to set them up for success when Compass starts and 4% qualifies them for the full match. The email also encourages clergy to contact EY Financial Planning Services if they would like help developing a budget that prioritizes saving for retirement. We kindly request your partnership with this message.

Why an Inclusive Approach Is Crucial for Wespath Investments

A couple weeks ago, new Chief Investment Officer Johara Farhadieh explained on the Investment Insights Blog that the primary way Wespath supports investment excellence is by hiring and providing access to top-tier asset managers. This week, Johara details why an inclusive approach to hiring asset managers can improve investment returns in her latest blog post and accompanying video.
