Basic Data Elements For Participant Gap Analysis TANDM-401(k) Reports

Data Templates

Single File - Census, compensation and holdings data in a single excel file:

Schwab Technology® Users:  We frequently work with SRT and recommend using this single data template file for plans that do not include self-directed brokerage accounts (SDBAs).  A single data file cannot be used for any plans using self-directed brokerage accounts.

Multiple Files (1 of 2) - Census and compensation data
Multiple Files (2 of 2) - Holdings data

SunGard Relius® Users:  We frequently work with Sungard Relius and we recommend using two data files, one for portolio holdings and another for all other data.  The two data file method is required for any plans using self-directed brokerage accounts (SDBAs). 

We are happy to help you determine what templates will work best for your needs.  Please contact us at 800.408.5375 x428 for more information.  We are happy to help.  You can also review the Basic Data Elements For TANDM-401(k) document to help determine which templates to use.

Education or Advice?  
Have a concern about if our reports are education or advice? We asked a prominent law firm if our reports constitute "investment advice" under ERISA.  Here's the opinion letter which they wrote: Education v. Advice Opinion Letter.

TANDM Implementation  

Getting To Know You.  As our name implies, we strive to be your partner not just your vendor.  We want to understand your needs and goals.  Does your servicing model call for report delivery during participant 1-on-1's?  Do you want reports delivered in PDF via your own website?  Do you focus on plan-level funding sufficiency analysis?  Do you need reports for select clients or for your entire book of business?  Does your plan include ESOP or special menu options?  After learning more about your needs we’ll suggest the reports and services that are the best fit, and will review pricing with you.

Set-Up.  Once we have a signed agreement, we give you a secure portal login.  Our secure portal website enables us to safely receive plan data from the recordkeeper, and to safely publish reports for you to access.  Once you’re on the secure portal, you can add new plan sponsors and upload data at any time.  And there are no set-up fees!

Action.  We carefully review all data and confirm various statistics with you before generating reports.  For example, does the number of valid participant records match what you think the number is?  Before we post any reports they go through a quality assurance process, to ensure they meet our rigorous standards.  When reports are ready, you’re notified via email and can access them securely in a variety of forms.
