17. Transition overview
How will my account transition from Nationwide to The Hartford?
The Hartford will transfer (“map”) your account assets, and your future contribution allocation, to investment options within Hartford’s retirement program based primarily on two things, as determined by the County of San Mateo:
Like asset classes
Example: An investment option in the asset class of “mid-cap growth” at your current provider would be transferred, or “mapped”, to another investment option in the “mid cap growth” category in The Hartford’s retirement program.
Like investment objectives
Example: An investment option with an objective of long-term growth would be transferred to another investment option with an objective of long-term growth
PLEASE NOTE: If you have an account with both Hartford and Nationwide, future allocations will be recalculated so that your total allocation remains consistent with your current allocation mix.
Now, you may be wondering how The Hartford will know where to move your money.
At the direction of The County of San Mateo, when applicable, we will transfer assets to “new” investment options based primarily on two things:
-Like asset classes
-Like investment objectives
For a visual representation of how the investment options will be mapped from your current provider to The Hartford, please see the handout provided. (Investment Options Mapping Guide)
