Fla. DC Plan Builds Out Investment Menu
That’s because SAFECO Corp., is offering its
SAFECO-ShareBuilder program though which public employees
can select from 60 mutual funds, a guaranteed account fixed

approximately 70 index securities.
According to SAFECO, its program allows investors
to buy fractional shares of individual stocks. There are
no account or investment minimums.
The government workers dollar-cost average their
investments by establishing a recurring monthly
investment plan, which may help even out market
fluctuations over time, SAFECO said.
