Overview

Prospectus Express® is the industry's only Web-based SEC-compliant data warehouse providing investor access to an online library of compliance documents (prospectuses, supplements, semi-annual and annual reports, and statements of additional information) for every open-end mutual fund, variable annuity, and variable life product sold in the United States.

A comprehensive investor-communications solution, Prospectus Express enables brokerage firms, individual variable annuity providers, and retirement plan providers to deliver Web access to these documents at every phase of the investor life cycle:

Pre-Sale

Enables online brokers to give visitors on their own corporate website transparent access to Prospectus Express.

Point of Sale

Enables financial institutions to give an individual investor an electronic link to the appropriate document in Prospectus Express, when the investor makes an online transaction. The electronic link is either in the online transaction screen or an embedded email link.

Post-Sale

Enables financial institutions to collect and maintain electronic consents and then provide ongoing electronic delivery of disclosure documents to investors holding a fund or making ongoing contributions to the position. Electronic delivery is provided with either regular email links (when investor email addresses are available) or compact disks with embedded links mailed to investor homes (when email addresses are not available).

Who's It For?

Brokerage Firms

Allows broker/dealer firms that sell funds online to meet compliance requirements with the most up-to-date prospectus (and other disclosure documents) during pre-sale or at the point of sale.

Individual Variable Annuity Providers

Enables variable annuity providers to ensure compliance and optimize cost savings of product prospectuses and semi-annual and annual reports in lieu of the more costly, less compliant Evergreen "blanket mailing" approach.

Retirement Plan Providers

Improves cost efficiency and guarantees compliance of prospectuses, supplements, and semi-annual and annual reports via electronic delivery and consent marketing and management.

  • All U.S. open-end mutual funds
  • All U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs)

  • Compliance Envelopes - For every fund, Prospectus Express provides access to an electronic envelope, containing the relevant prospectus, supplements, semi-annual and annual reports, and statements of additional information.
