Obviously we are trying to get a lot of this data, but as you are probably aware getting the data is difficult. But, thanks for the feedback and check back in the future to see if we have the plans rated! Thanks, Ryan Eric-

It's a bit tricky to pull this information out however. Look at the number under "aggregate administrative fees and other expenses". It will not show expenses deducted from investment results or fees and expenses paid by your individual account; these are rolled into the NAV of the funds. The forms posted at freeerisa usually must be filed with the government within seven months after the end of the calendar year.

Ever so often you list websites that people are seeking to find correct, comprehensive and useful information that will significantly affect their lives. Yesterday's mortgage professor website and today brightscope website. This is phenomenal. Try googling "mortgage rates" and "401 k comparison" and neither website shows up at top. But both websites you listed are quintessential sources of information for very important things in life: mortgages and retirement savings. Thank you so much! Jonanthan, I love your blog.
