Basic Investment Principles
Contributions to your 403(b) retirement plan are invested with independent vendors into
investment funds. Duke offers five vendors and more than 300 funds in
which you may invest. However, before you begin to make decisions
regarding specific vendors and funds, there are several basic investment
principles to consider. Careful study of these principles
should help you to better plan your investments and feel more comfortable with
your choices.
The material presented in this section is not intended to address all of
the many facets of investing. However, it is a beginning step to
learning some basic investment concepts. All of Duke's retirement
vendors offer educational materials on the web to help you further expand
your knowledge. For links to vendor web sites, please
visit our Investment Carriers web page.
