If you have investments in the University of Minnesota retirement plans through Securian Retirement, you may have noticed that Securian’s website has a new look and new features. The University of Minnesota plans that are affected are the Faculty Retirement Plan (FRP), Faculty 403(b), and the two voluntary retirement plans (Optional Retirement Plan and 457 Plan).

As a Securian client, you will be asked to re-register when you go online for the first time. At that time, you will have the option to add dual-authentication (two-step) for additional online security, if you choose.

The site includes several new features, including easy-to-use retirement income projection tools, plus new summary views and download options. You can access the same account and investment information as before and can easily switch between viewing your data as charts and tables. Simple color-coded pop-up boxes help you confirm that any changes you make are exactly what you want, so there are no surprises. In addition, the site is easier to view and use on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or a tablet.

To learn more about the new site features, videos and more information are available at http://z.umn.edu/retirement. You can also contact a Securian plan specialist at 1-800-421-3334, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
