Making Your Personal Investment Choices
It is up to you to decide how to invest Oxy's contributions to your PRA. All investments involve the risk of loss as well as the potential of gain. Please remember that historic performance does not necessarily indicate the future performance of any PRA investment Fund. Performance depends on a number of variables, including the performance of other companies and markets in which investments are made and the actual time frame of your investment.
Oxy does not guarantee the performance of any PRA Fund nor does it assume any obligation to make up for any losses that you may experience. You may want to consult an independent investment advisor regarding the PRA investment options that are best suited to help you achieve your personal investment goals.
Shown below are individual descriptions of each PRA investment option.
Stable Value Fund
This conservative risk Fund is designed to provide stable, predictable returns. Your contributions are invested in stable value investment contracts (SVCs) which guarantee an interest rate and the repayment of principal. It is important to note that the SVCs are not guaranteed by the federal government or by Oxy. The guarantee is based solely on the ability of the contract providers to fulfill their obligations under these contracts. As a participant in this Fund, you will earn a “blended” interest rate that reflects the combined earnings for all SVCs held under the Fund.
INVESCO of Louisville, Kentucky individually manages this Fund on behalf of the PRA. An individual prospectus is not published for this Fund.
