The way you invest in your 401(k) account is completely up to you. This includes not only your contributions but also Marvell's matching contributions and any amount that you roll over from another account. You can select from Target Date funds, Plan Selected Funds or use the Personal Choice Retirement account.
If you are automatically enrolled in a 401(k) plan, your contributions are invested in the Schwab Target Date Fund that most closely matches your anticipated retirement at age 65. Marvell offers a variety of investment funds. You should select the funds that are the best fit for your abilities and needs.
Target Date Funds
Is this Fund Right for Me? If you want the ease of a single investment option and if you can approximate the year you want to retire, you may be a good fit for a target date fund. Investing in a target date fund enables you to direct your contributions into a single fund, from the time you begin to save until you retire. Investment allocations in these professionally managed portfolios become more conservative as the target retirement date nears.
How Does it Work? When you enroll, select a fund that best matches your expected retirement date, as well as other factors important to you. Keep in mind:
- The mix of investments shifts from more aggressive to more conservative over time.
- You should review your investment selection at least annually to ensure you remain on track with your goals.
Plan-Selected Funds
Is this Fund Right for Me? Do you enjoy researching and choosing investments? Do you have time to manage your account at least once a year? If so, you may want to invest on your own with Plan-Selected Funds. Marvell has chosen an array of investments to give you a diverse range of choices.
How Does it Work? First, determine your risk tolerance. You will also find a variety of tools and resources to help you at workplace.schwab.com, including the Investor Profile Questionnaire. Keep in mind, you will need to:
- Conduct research as needed, using the many tools provided, to help you analyze and choose among the Plan's managed funds.
- Decide what percentage of your contribution should go to each fund.
- Review additional information about each mutual fund in the plan by visiting workplace.schwab.com or calling 1-800-724-7526.
Personal Choice Retirement Account (PCRA)
Is this Fund Right for Me? Are you a knowledgeable, experienced investor with the time and interest to conduct your own research and decide how to invest? Do you have time to review your decisions at least annually? If so, a Schwab Personal Choice Retirement Account® (PCRA)* may be the strategy for you. PCRA is a brokerage account you manage yourself that provides access to more investment choices than are otherwise available in the Plan.
How Does it Work? You must complete a PCRA application at workplace.schwab.com under Manage Account tab. Once your PCRA is approved and opened, you may transfer any portion of your funds from existing Plan investments to your PCRA. Keep in mind:
- You can take advantage of the many online tools to help you search and analyze investment opportunities.
- You can place trade orders in your PCRA online through schwab.com or by calling a Schwab PCRA Representative at 1-888-393-7272.
