W&R IBC 403(b) Plan

Welcome to Waddell & Reed

Your school district has selected Waddell & Reed as an approved vendor to provide investment products and servicing for your 403(b) retirement plan.

Waddell & Reed, Inc. is proud to provide you the Waddell & Reed Advisors 403(b) Retirement Plan, through a strategic alliance with Advanced Pension Solutions and Nationwide Financial. Two companies known nationally for their superior customer service – Waddell & Reed and Nationwide – announced their alliance to the public in October, 2000. The alliance combines Waddell & Reed’s strong national distribution system with Nationwide’s innovative product design, creating a win-win situation for our employer-sponsored plan clients and their plan participants.

Congratulations! You have the opportunity to make a real difference in your retirement future. 403(b) Plans allow you the double benefit of investing your personal pretax salary contributions while reducing your current taxable income. Contributions into the Plan let you delay paying taxes because the earnings in the account grow tax-deferred; income taxes are not paid until you begin making withdrawals.
