The Directed Account Plan expenses fall into the lower range of expenses experienced by the larger |
plans as reported by Hewitt. In addition, our actual costs in 2002 were further reduced by participant |
transfer fees and mutual fund administrative fee offsets by $749,817 or 14.8%. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Directed Account Plan expenses continue to be very competitive relative to other plans. |
