A brief description of the socially responsible investment option for retirement plans:
After six full months of employment, eligible unclassified employees may choose between two retirement plans: the Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan (OPSRP) and the Optional Retirement Plan (ORP). The Optional Retirement 401(a) Plan - the “ORP”- is a defined contribution plan that academic and administrative unclassified employees may choose in lieu of PERS membership. The ORP has been in operation since 1996 and was updated November, 2007. Participants have a choice of investments-plus-services programs to suit their individual retirement planning needs. The ORP offers mutual funds and both fixed and variable annuities in participant-directed account. This plan is currently provided through Fidelity Investments. One of the plan's investment options includes the "Neuberger Berman Socially Responsible" actively managed fund.
