<\/div>

If you are a Moog employee, you know the company changed its retirement plan at the start of 2020. The change was not unexpected: like many in the industry, Moog shifted from a traditional pension system (with payments guaranteed), to a now more common defined contribution plan (where the payments are not guaranteed and market risk is assumed by employees).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As part of that new plan, Moog created the RSP+ account.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the RSP+ Account?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moog\u2019s new retirement plan includes both a company match on employee 401(k) contributions as well as a direct retirement contribution. The direct retirement contributions are not a match (employees don\u2019t have to contribute to receive the payments) and take into account both an employee\u2019s age and salary: those ages 39 or younger receive 3% of compensation, ages 40-49 and ages 50+, receive 4% and 5%, respectively.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example, a 52-year old Moog employee making $100,000 per year, receives an annual direct RSP+ contribution of $5,000.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How are RSP+ accounts invested?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the default option for Moog employee 401(k) accounts (including the company match) is the Blackrock LifePath funds (you can read our review of the LifePath funds here: \u201cMoog Employees: Are you Making the Most of your 401(k) Account?<\/u>\u201d), the default option for the direct retirement contributions is 100% in Moog stock<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a Moog employee, you have the option to change how your RSP+ account is invested at any time (including the direct retirement contribution)<\/u>. The RSP+ plan offers a wide range of diversified index funds (such as those tracking the S&P 500) to choose from instead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, as of September 2020, Moog employees still own $98 million<\/b><\/strong> in company stock.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t changed my investment election and am still receiving Moog stock. What should I do?<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The chart below shows the performance of Moog Stock (green) versus the S&P 500 (blue) over the last ten years. Moog has significantly underperformed the S&P 500, returning 114% versus the S&P\u2019s 350%.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Put another way, $10,000 invested in Moog stock ten years ago would be worth $21,400 today. That same $10,000 invested in the S&P 500 would be worth $45,000 today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just about returns, too. It\u2019s also about risk. Moog stock has been significantly more volatile than the S&P 500 over the last ten years, including drops of 50% in 2016, and nearly 70% in 2020. In fact, over the last ten years, Moog has capture just 91% of the market\u2019s upside, but 178% of the downside.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While we believe there are many benefits to employees owning stock in Moog, we believe it\u2019s equally important for employees to remain diversified<\/u>.<\/p>\n
