Among the features of the new Toolkit are:

monthly updates on fund information as well as the plan’s current and standard investment returns
investment return summaries
a log of all the plan’s past trust statements
quarterly electronic files of the plan’s investment performance report
an update of the plan’s portfolio composition versus its benchmarks
an analysis of investment performance, style and risk
annual actuarial valuation and financial disclosure information
reports that outline the plan’s funding requirements, funding status and pension expense figures.

Currently, most plan sponsors receive paper-based updates on their plan’s financial performance from multiple parties, including their actuary and consultant. This new product allows a CFO or other treasury professional to receive and manage all of their pension’s financial information in a consolidated, online format, NYLIM said.
