Investment Funds You Can Choose
Core funds invest in a very broad portion of an asset class and can help you form the "core" of your portfolio.
Specialty funds invest in a portion of an asset class and can help you "fine-tune" your portfolio.
The FRS Investment Plan features 20 funds, which are spread across six investment categories, including a special category of fund called Balanced Funds that offer mixtures of various other investment categories.
FRS Balanced Funds
Balanced funds invest in multiple asset classes and are good for "one-stop-shopping." They seek favorable long-term returns by keeping costs low and investing across multiple asset classes to diversify and control risk.

Money Market Funds
Money Market Funds invest in short-term securities that are high quality and can be sold quickly with little or no loss of value.
However, over the long-term, the returns may be modest. Money Market Funds are not FDIC insured or guaranteed.

Inflation Protected Securities Fund
Inflation Protected Securities Funds invest in United States Treasury Inflation-protected securities or "TIPS". While the day-to-value
of inflation protected securities varies with changes in inflation and interest rates, these funds offer a promise of keeping up with inflation that is unique to this type of investment.

Foreign And Global Stock Funds
Foreign and Global Stock Funds invest primarily in stocks issued by foreign companies. Compared to U.S. stocks, foreign stocks are
affected by additional risk factors such as foreign laws and regulations, differences in accounting practices, political and currency
risks. Over the long-term, foreign stocks have provided additional diversification benefits.
