<div><em><strong>coolman293472</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I plan to open a 403(b) in August. I have been told that mutual funds are better (and cheaper) than annuities, and so that is what I want to put my money. (I don&#8217;t intend this question to be a mutual fund vs. annuity debate). My school district sponsors 20 retirement planning companies, and their websites don&#8217;t seem to distinguish the competition. Some companies include Fidelity, Primerica, Vanguard, Metro Life, Equitable, Putnam, etc. How do I choose which company is best for me whether or not I end up getting mutual funds or annuities?<br />
I teach in Florida. We have the Florida Retirement System (FRS). My school district puts money into that, which I can choose either to be a pension (with benefits after 6 years of service) or an investment plan (with benefits after 1 year). I choose the investment plan because I don&#8217;t know if I will be in teaching in the long-run or if I will at least be in Florida for 6 years to get the pension benefit. According to everyone, the FRS will not be enough, so we have the option of opening up a 403(b) plan with one of these companies to supplement the FRS money.  There is no matching in this 403(b).<br />
