• Participants in TRS' Tax-Deferred Annuity (TDA) Program benefit from two sources of income at retirement: their guaranteed pension (through our Qualified Pension Plan), plus their TDA funds to draw on.

• TDA participants who start investing early can fully realize the power of compounding on their investments.

• Participants who maintain their TDA accounts during retirement have an average balance of more than $400,000.

For more information about the TDA Program, please read our Your Tax-Deferred Annuity Program and Fund Profiles booklet. Or sign up for a 90-minute Introduction to the TDA Program session at TRS.
