5500 Preparer's Manual for 2012 Plan Years
The premier resource in the field of Form 5500 preparation, 5500 Preparer's Manual will help you handle the required annual Form 5500 filings for both pension benefits and welfare benefit plans.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a no-action letter stating that information required by and complying with EBSA's participant-level fee disclosure regulations that is provided by a plan administrator, or designee, to plan participants or beneficiaries will be treated as a communication that satisfies the requirements of Rule 482 under the 1933 Securities Act.
Rule 482 permits an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act to include, among other things, uniformly calculated performance information in advertisements and other sales materials. The letter, which was released by the Department of Labor, is intended to resolve concerns about the potential differences between the DOL's fee disclosure rules and the SEC's rules on advertising that may apply to plan investment options.
EBSA and SEC staff have been coordinating on the no-action letter since pre-publication of the final regulations in 2010 to address concerns raised by plan administrators and their financial service providers regarding their obligations under ERISA and Rule 482.
