Investment Allocation Examples
  38. Investment Allocation Examples (con’t)
  39. Investment Expense Allocations All investment management costs are allocated at the individual manager level and are therefore only paid by a system, or the systems, that have an allocation to that specific investment manager. As each Retirement Plans ownership percentage of every underlying manager is known, when investment management fees are paid from the individual account, each plan pays only their proportionate share. Administrative expenses are allocated based on each plans individual membership count divided into the total KRS member count and is changed on an annual basis.
