What is a Collective Investment Trust (CIT)?
  • Collective Investment Trusts (CITs) are pooled retirement investment vehicles that are available only to qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) defined contribution plans and governmental plans.
  • Consists solely of assets of retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock bonus or other tax-qualified retirement accounts and governmental plans that are exempt from federal income tax.
  • CITs are institutional products that are sold only to plan sponsors and/or plan fiduciaries for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries.
  • Relative to mutual funds, CITs are generally considered to be low cost. CITs are maintained or sponsored by a bank or trust company (Trustee) under the purview of the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) or a state banking regulator.
Collective Investment Trusts (CITs) are available only to qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) defined contribution plans and governmental plans.
