Data for 404a5

[austin3515]

Where would one get the information necessary for preparing a 404a5 notice? We have Mornginstar for Rates of Return, and expense ratios, but where would we get things like returns for benchmarks, what the appropriate benchmark is, as well as a trading restrictions/fees?

The recordkeepers must be getting the data from somewehre, but where? Is it obtainable on a smaller scale?

Austin, we use Relius and contracted with them to get a Morningstar download that provides all that information.

Same here. We bought the Relius add-on. I believe Newkirk has a solution too.

Do you get an excel download, or is it toitally interfaced with relius?

I'm so frustrated with these recorkeepers and how they went about this, I'm thinking about just doing it myself in access. We're a producing TPA but have outsourced the daily val to bigger recordkeepers. This process was a struggle, so I'm not sure how I'll be able to get this info for enrollment kits, etc.

We get a PDF report directly from Relius. But, if you are not a recordkeeper, why aren't you relying on the recordkeeper for the fund expense info? Why do you need to do it yourself?

I believe at the end of the day it will be easier.
