FAQs
What is the Value and Fee Benchmark with FEEPOINT® calculation Report?
The Value and Fee Benchmark with FEEPOINT® calculation Report is FBi’s most granular benchmarking solution and the one that truly answers the questions “Are my fees reasonable?”. A report can be ordered for the entire plan or as individual Service Provider Chapters (i.e. Investment Manager, Recordkeeper, Third Party Administrator and Advisor/Consultant). Each chapter consists of the same 5 step process for determining fee reasonableness – Customize Benchmark Group, Review Provider Quality, Assess Scope of Services, Examine Value Delivered and Evaluate Fees.
Will the FDI reports be in conflict with our 408(b) disclosures?
Because Fiduciary Decisions obtains all of its data directly from Service Providers, FDI reports should never conflict with the relevant 408(b) disclosures.
Why does Fiduciary Decisions NOT use Form 5500 data?
Form 5500 data does not always accurately account for items such as Insurance Company General Accounts, Schedule C Administrative Fees and ERISA Spending Accounts. In addition, the 5500 does not recognize items that may drive costs for service providers. The most important reason though is that the 5500 contains no service, support or participant success measure information which FDI believes is required to determine fee reasonableness.
