About BrightScopeTM Inc.

BrightScopeTM, Inc. is an independent provider of 401k ratings and financial intelligence to plan sponsors, advisors, and participants in all 50 states. Our mission is to increase the retirement security of America’s workforce by bringing transparency and efficiency to the 401k plan market. We maintain a comprehensive database of information on the 401k plan market and add additional value and insight by quantitatively rating each 401k plan across critical metrics. BrightScopeTM empowers plan sponsors to quickly and accurately determine the optimal structure for their 401k plan and choose the providers that provide the most value for the fees they charge. BrightScope is the only 401k analytics firm that is truly independent and does not accept compensation in the form of revenue sharing from mutual fund companies or plan providers. BrightScope is aligned with plan sponsors and seeks to avoid conflicts that will jeopardize its ability to give its clients unbiased advice. BrightScope is not a fiduciary under ERISA.

The BrightScope RatingTM

The BrightScope RatingTM is an industry standard quantitative 401k plan rating developed by BrightScopeTM, Inc. with the help of leading academics and independent 401k fiduciaries. The BrightScope rating algorithm calculates a single numerical score for each 401k plan in the country after considering over 200+ individual data points in broad categories such as total plan cost, company generosity and investment menu quality. The BrightScope RatingTM is designed to assist industry participants in determining the relative quality of a company’s 401k plan when compared to a unique peer group with similar demographic characteristics. We believe that industry adoption of the BrightScope RatingTM will ultimately lead to more cost-effective plans, increased participation rates, higher employee satisfaction, and better outcomes for employees who depend on their 401k plan for retirement.

The BrightScope DatabaseTM

BrightScopeTM obtains some of its data from public sources such as the Department of Labor, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Census Bureau, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Mutual fund and investment data are obtained from mutual fund prospectuses, statements of additional information, Form NSAR and Xignite, Inc. Data on 401k fees comes directly from plan sponsors who work with us to improve their plan. While all participant level data (ie. names, account balances, identification numbers etc.) is protected and confidential, we aggregate company level fee data across comparable companies to construct relevant benchmarks on fees. BrightScopeTM believes it possesses the most comprehensive private database of 401k information in the country. The company will leverage this database to provide our clients with accurate and high quality data that places them on a level playing field with their providers.

$10,000 this would make 2010 the best year of my life…

The worst year of my life was in 2005. I was a victim of identity thief, involved in a major car accident and have been fighting to recover every since. After the car accident I lost my job (due to my injuries) and then my house. I have been working to repair my credit to purchase another home in… more

A Chance to Finally Get Ahead

I’ve been a single parent for 10 years. I am considered “working poor”, not a great label but true. I hold a decent job, we are not poverty level but I still struggle to make ends meet. We don’t qualify for any assistance. In the last two years I’ve been out of work on a medical leave and also… more

Mother’s Helper

There are many ways I can think of putting 10,000 dollars to use. One way is to give it to the one person that I really know needs it the most my mother, Jimeana Thomas. Being her first born out of six children. And the eldest sister of four daughters. I know times get hard for her trying to give us… more

A child for loving parents

I would use ten thousand dollars for fertility treatments and or a surogate. I am 42 and my husband and I want a child desperately. We have been married for 7 years and have been trying for 6 years now. Fertility treatments are not covered in my insurance plan and my time is running out to have a… more

A Year of Struggle

Let me begin by saying thank you for the opportunity to win $10,000. On January 1, 2009 my husband did not come home. I was left to take care of my 17, 15, 9 and 5 year old alone. To say that this year has been a struggle is an understatement. The home in which I lived went into foreclosure… more

Smarter Choices

There really arent words to describe how things would change…I know choices would be made smarter. After doing well and not worrying about bills, I was laid off when my first son was 6 months old..after 9 months and a part time job, we were almost back on track when our paychecks started to get… more

Helping the Homeless

I want to start a nonprofit organization to get homeless veterans off the streets, trained and get housing to get back into society. Starting in Ohio and after that is established, continue all over the country! I will be employed by the organization, which will be the first job I’ll have since I… more

$10,000 would make a big difference in my life

$10,000 would make a big difference in my life. In 2002, I was hit head-on by an uninsured drunk driver. I have been on disability every since. It’s not easy living on disability. To start, I would take 10 percent and pay my tithes to my church. Then, I would use the money to pay my taxes on my home… more

A “fresh start…”

Receiving 10,000 even 1,000 dollars would be a tremendous blessing to my life in the new year. I became unemployed in January of 2009- and have thus been unemployed for an entire year. After being turned down for job after job I decided to put all of my energy into my studies as I pursue a Masters… more

If I had a chance to win 10,000 I would buy the homeless some clothes and other stuff they need. I would help my sister-in-law Judy she lost her job last year and now barely getting any hours,judy is about to lose her car and I would give her the money to pay on it, my neice Lisa and her husband and… more
