Opinion piece: NTSA Confuses Correlation and Causation Recently, the National Tax-Deferred Savings Association (NTSA, an entity that exists to lobby on behalf of vendors and salespeople to government 403(b) & 457(b) plans) released a report titled “Improving Retirement Savings for America’s Public Educators” in which it aims to provide evidence that increasing or maintaining (many) choices for public educators increases participation. After reading the report, I found no evidence to support the conclusions reached. Further, I believe those conclusions were reached through clever misrepresentations of the data to justify a primary goal of the NTSA, which is to “Prevent elimination or limitation of retirement plan options for public employees.”
