Retirement Benefits

For the years ended December 31, (dollars in millions)

CIT maintains a “Statement of Investment Policies and Objectives” which specifies investment guidelines pertaining to the investment, supervision and monitoring of pension assets so as to ensure consistency with the long-term objective of ensuring sufficient funds to finance future retirement benefits. The policy asset allocation guidelines allow for assets to be invested between 55% to 70% in Equities and 25% to 45% in Fixed-Income investments. In addition, the policy guidelines allow for additional diversifying investments in other asset classes or securities such as Hedge Funds, Real Estate and Commodities, as approved by the Investment Committee. The policy provides specific guidance related to asset class objectives, fund manager guidelines and identification of both prohibited and restricted transactions, and is reviewed on a periodic basis by both the Investment Committee of CIT and the Plans’ external investment consultants to ensure the long-term investment objectives are achieved. Members of the Committee are appointed by the Chief Executive Officer of CIT and include the Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, and other senior executives.
