Complete List of Traded Funds With Revenue Sharing Information
BPAS operates an open architecture platform, currently trading over 2,600 tickers from more than 250 fund families in total (and adding new funds or fund families to meet the needs of our clients). Realizing that final fund menus are often not selected until later in the conversion process, and that investment menus are subject to change over time, we have furnished the entire list of funds currently traded on the BPAS platform along with complete information on revenue sharing payments (including the breakdown of 12b-1 fees and sub-transfer agent payments).
Note: In the case of plans sold with a broker / dealer partner, 12b-1 payments are normally directed to the outside broker as part of its fee schedule, while sub-transfer agent fees are directed to BPAS to be used as part of its fee arrangement. For all other configurations, both 12b-1 and sub-transfer agent fees directed to BPAS to be used as part of the overall fee arrangement. Please see the fee page provided to your plan for specific information on the handling and offset of such payments.
