The Savings Plan — 401(k)
Forward thinking starts with forward saving
It’s never too early to start saving for your future. Taking steps today can help you feel more confident about tomorrow.
By enrolling in—or increasing your contributions to—the Savings Plan, you’re making a simple choice that can have a meaningful impact over time. The Savings Plan is a 401(k) program that allows you to save for retirement through convenient automatic payroll deductions.
And you don’t have to do it alone—Siemens Healthineers helps your savings grow by providing company contributions to most employees’ accounts, giving your retirement savings an added boost
Investment options
You can choose from a wide variety of investment options representing all of the major asset classes:
Ready-made portfolios.
Portfolio building.
Personal Choice Retirement Account.
This type of investment option is available in the form of Target Date investment portfolios. They provide professionally developed asset allocations, yet require significantly less of your involvement than building and managing your own portfolio.
Each Target Date investment portfolio has a different asset allocation of investments, which is keyed to a particular combination of target year (the year you expect to start using the money) and risk profile (how aggressively you invest).
Learn more about picking a Target Date investment portfolio and how they work by reviewing the Summary Plan Description (SPD).
If you want to build and manage your own portfolio, you can choose from investment options from each of the major asset classes:
- Stable Value
- Core Bond
- High-Yield Bond
- U.S. Large Cap Stock
- U.S. Large Cap Growth Stock
- U.S. Small/Mid Cap Stock
- Non-U.S. Developed Markets Stock
- Non-U.S. Emerging Markets Stock
These portfolio building blocks are custom-made institutional offerings, each representing a mixture of multiple investment portfolios within a single asset class or sub-asset class.
The Personal Choice Retirement Account (PCRA) (formerly self-directed brokerage account) is administered through Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. For an additional fee, the PCRA gives participants who seek more flexibility and increased diversification the ability to build and manage their own portfolios.
The PCRA offers a broader range of investment choices outside of the plan’s core funds. To open a PCRA, you must have a minimum balance of $500 in investments in the plan other than in your PCRA.
Please note: A PCRA is not for everyone. You should not consider this account unless you are a sophisticated investor who is willing to take on additional risk and is prepared to assume responsibility for closely monitoring your investments in the PCRA.
