403(b)(7)
Custodial Account
A Custodial 403(b)(7) account allows
employee participants to
transfer their 403(b) assets and invest
in one or more mutual
funds, which may provide more investment
choices than other
403(b) accounts.
This allows you the flexibility to invest
as conservatively or as
aggressively as you like.
The contributions that you make to the plan
are deducted by
your employer directly from your paycheck through
an
automatic salary reduction feature, making it easier for
you
to put funds aside for the future. All earnings on the
contributions
are tax-deferred and are not taxed as long as
they remain in the account.

Tax Advantages
Earnings
Tax-deferred (taxed when you withdraw them). The tax-deferred
compounding effect of the earnings on your plan
assets can provide you with a substantial benefit.
Since the amounts you contribute
under a 403(b)(7) plan are taken out of your gross
pay, your federal income tax liability is reduced.
Many states also allow you to exclude
your 403(b)(7) contributions from your income when
determining your state tax liability, providing you
with even greater tax savings.

Taxable
Contributions
Contribution Amounts
After your initial transfer, subsequent transfers from
another 403(b) account can be made at any time
as long as the transfer amount meets the $1,000
minimum requirement. You may continue to make elective
deferrals into your original 403(b) and then transfer
those funds to your Midas Funds 403(b)(7) account
when you meet the minimum transfer amount requirement.
