Account Valuation
Yield calculations are computed on either the beginning balance or some form of average balance for the period being evaluated. Yield can be entered as a fixed percentage to be applied to the balance, or as a fund wide dollar return which the system will allocate on a pro-rated basis. The administrative fee can be a percent, or a reduction of yield to obtain a net yield, or a fixed amount. -
Forfeitures are built into the system according to any plan rules that dictate the forfeiture of any or all of a particpant’s balance.
