ERISA Tips: What Is a 404(a)(5) Participant Fee Disclosure?

Department of Labor (DOL) regulations require that a retirement plan’s participants are provided with timely and comprehensive information about their investment fees. This is fulfilled in the form of a 404(a)(5) participant fee disclosure.

Important note: A fee disclosure has to show all the fees that participants face — from custodial and recordkeeping fees to investment expenses.
