Measuring Performance

Our reporting enables the plan sponsor to accurately monitor ongoing results vs. objectives. This reporting is delivered via a secure client portal so that plan sponsors have “on-demand” access to comprehensive data and analysis.

MONTHLY REPORTING

On a monthly basis, we provide a comprehensive accounting report package for any combination of funding strategies.

For corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) and mutual funds, our reporting includes:

• valuation reports of plan assets and liabilities
• journal entries for plan assets and liabilities
• trade activity reports
• funding adequacy analysis
• comprehensive financial and tax reporting

For a total return swap (TRS) our reporting, in collaboration with Atlas, includes:

• detailed tax recordkeeping, to enable deferral of TRS gains
• financing/equity components
• correlation/tracking error and performance attribution analysis
• income statement and balance sheet reports

On a quarterly basis, we provide a proprietary investment review that includes:
