fjb44mag Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I liked Fidelity handling our 401k. This new company American Computer Services is not really a fund manager. They seem to be just a computer service company. We don't really have any info about how they handle transactions. We don't have the ability to move our funds as we feel the need to. Everyday the market changes. We should have the right to adjust our funds anyway we want at anytime. Currently our 401k is frozen, without much info available as to when, where, and how we will be able to control our funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Period ReminderAs previously communicated, there will be a period of time when you will be unable to direct or diversify investments in your individual accounts, obtain a loan from the plan, or obtain a distribution from the plan. This time period, called a “blackout period”, begins at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on December 24, 2009, and is expected to end at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time on January 5, 2010. ACS will perform the same administrative services presently provided by Fidelity through a new Web site, or through an ACS Personal Benefits Representative. You can: Select contribution rates, investment options and beneficiaries Review investment options and performance Change contribution rates and investment choices Make withdrawals or request loans Complete rollovers View your statements online – available April 2010 Use online tools, including calculators and educational material to assist with your financial planning decisions. Call a Personal Benefits Representative for assistance or questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiredMotorCompany Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I last saw my TESPHE balances on 12/31/2009. Now Fidelity shows $0.00 balance. And I cannot find the site where my money went. Sounds like a great way to make off with a few millions with a weeks head start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned a lot about Fidelity...now, I have to start all over with a company I never heard of until now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Interesting. They have my hire-in date when I was TPT, not when I was hired full time. And I don't like the fact that the PIN has to be all numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 They have my seniority date as Jan. 1 of the first time I hired in...It took me 3 hires to keep my seniority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
