NADART Investment Choice 401(k) Plans

The NADART Investment Choice Plan is designed for employers who want their employees to have control over their investments. This daily valued 401(k) retirement plan gives participants a choice of funds with a wide variety of investment strategies and risk factors to meet their individual needs.

In this type of plan, participants can choose to defer a portion of their wages by contributing that portion to the plan. This portion is not taxable income. The employer has the option of making various types of matching contributions, profit-sharing contribution or no contribution to the plan.

Funds in the NADART Investment Choice Plan
Participants in an Investment Choice Plan have the option of investing their account in a wide variety of funds, selected and monitored by Cardinal Bank and Investment Services  in concert with outside investment professionals and members of the NADART professional staff.  Our investment options are grouped into several categories:

  • Balanced Funds
  • Income Funds
  • International Funds
  • Large Cap Stock Funds
  • Mid Cap Stock Funds
  • Small Cap Stock Funds 

Prices and earnings of the funds are given daily. You can find a more detailed view of how the Investment Choice Plan performed in the past year by viewing the 2010 NADART Report (PDF) or review mutual fund prospectuses.

NADART Classic Plans

Although our Investment Choice Plan is the most popular new plan option, we continue to offer the NADART Classic Plans listed below. Valued on a daily basis, these are simple, low-maintenance, easy-to-understand retirement plans.

Classic 401(k) Plan
Participants can choose to defer a portion of their wages by contributing that portion to the plan and the employer has the option of making various types of matching contributions, profit-sharing contribution or no contribution to the plan.

Classic Profit-Sharing Plan
The employer offers contributions to the plan based on the profits or financial condition of the company that year. Employees may have the option of making after-tax contributions to the plan.

Classic Pension Plan
Employees are usually required to contribute a percentage of their pay on an after-tax basis. In turn, the sponsoring employer makes a matching or fixed contribution to the plan.
