Recordkeeping

Recordkeeping's primary function is maintaining individual participant account balances or benefit levels for plan participants. Defined Contribution recordkeeping can be performed on either a balance forward or a daily valuation basis. Daily valuation maintains its data in shares or units and accounts are updated quickly by factoring the number of shares by the recent Net Asset Value (NAV) or share prices. With either method, periodic valuation reports and employee benefit statements are prepared on at least an annual basis and frequently on a more regular interval, such as quarterly.

Below we would like to highlight daily valuation services that are available through Benefit Management, Inc. (BMI)

Daily valuation recordkeeping offered by BMI provides small and medium size plan sponsors the same efficiencies and responsiveness of a daily traded system once enjoyed only by larger plan sponsors. BMI's open mutual fund architecture and multiple trading partners are more flexible and comprehensive than programs sponsored by a financial institution.
