GAO finds new Form 5500 lacking
December 6th, 2009
“Without data on mutual funds, the largest component of most 401(k) retirement plans, (the Labor Department) is unable to fully assess the impact of service provider fees on investment returns,” the GAO report says.
The report, requested by House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-Calif., recommends, among other things, that the DOL require all indirect compensation to plan service providers be disclosed on the forms, along with the asset-based fees that are netted from investment fund performance.
