ShareBuilder 401k wants to ensure your plan always delivers great value not only in features and services, but also in price. As your company’s total plan assets exceed a pricing milestone shown above for a calendar quarter (based on an average of the daily balance), we automatically lower your administration and asset management fee for the next quarter and on-going. The reverse is also true. If for some reason employees, markets, or other events drop your average asset balance for your company’s plan below your current level, your administration and asset fee are adjusted up for the next quarter. All pricing is on a go-forward basis and is not retroactive.

These fees are applied to each person who participates in your company’s ShareBuilder 401k plan:

• Our asset management fee is charged quarterly and amounts to 0.45% – 0.75% of a participant’s assets per year.
• Our portfolios’ average investment expense ratio is 0.20%.
