The companies of OneAmerica introduce innovative service that ensures fee equity

OneAmerica^® company McCready and Keene, Inc., today announced its new Strategic and Targeted Allocation of Revenue (STAR) service. STAR helps ensure participants are paying an equitable portion of the plan expenses, regardless of their investment allocation choices.

With STAR, a plan's revenue account is allocated back to participants in proportion to the amount generated by their individual balances and fund selection. When plan administration expenses are deducted from participant accounts, STAR ensures the expenses are allocated proportionately among all participants.

“Sponsors will love this service because it assesses fees across their plan based on the funds in which participants are invested,” said Pete Welsh, vice president of product and marketing strategy for retirement business at the OneAmerica companies. “Only a select few are in a position to provide this service, and we are excited to add STAR to the long list of exceptional capabilities we offer our customers.”

In addition to the STAR analysis and allocations, McCready and Keene will also disclose credits and/or fees on participants' account statements in compliance with fee disclosure regulation requirements from the Department of Labor.
