## See exactly what a plan holds, and every plan that holds your fund.

We parse the Schedule of Assets out of each Form 5500 filing — the one thing a fee grade and a contact list can’t tell you. Open any plan to read its actual investment line items, or look up a fund family to pull every plan invested in it, ranked by dollars held. For an asset manager or wholesaler, that is a distribution map: which plans already own your funds, how large each position is, and which plans run a competitor’s lineup instead.

- Every line item in a plan&#x27;s Schedule of Assets, with position sizes
- Reverse lookup: every plan holding a fund family, ranked by dollars
- The recordkeeper and advisor sitting behind each position
- Export the full holder list for territory and account planning

           Straight answers

## The questions worth asking before you switch.

    Where does the data come from? +

Every U.S. employee benefit plan with 100+ participants files a Form 5500 annual return/report each year with the Department of Labor, IRS, and PBGC. These Forms 5500 series returns/reports are submitted through the DOL&#x27;s EFAST2 electronic filing system and are public record. We ingest, normalize, score, and parse the Schedule of Assets out of them — plan years 2022–2024, refreshed as new filings land, with the 2026 Form 5500 series added as the agencies release it.

   How do I look up or search a company&#x27;s Form 5500? +

Use the free Form 5500 search box above: enter a company name, EIN, or plan name to run an instant Form 5500 lookup across ~2.9 million DOL filings. Each result opens a plan page with assets, participants, service providers, and the fund holdings from the IRS/DOL Form 5500 annual return/report — no login required.

   How is this different from a lead list like 401kHunter? +

A lead list gives you a fee grade and one contact, and meters you per field — the email costs extra credits on top of the financials. We hand you the whole plan: the full provider stack, a 0–100 health score, peer fee benchmarks, the funds it actually holds, and every decision-maker who signs (plan signer, CFO, HR, benefits) — one flat unlock, permanent. The fund-holdings view in particular is something a lead list structurally can&#x27;t do.

   What does a contact unlock actually include? +

One unlock reveals every key decision-maker for that plan — not just a single name — each with a verified work email and LinkedIn. Unlocks are permanent: re-open the plan anytime and it never re-bills. Pro includes 50 unlocks a month; you can also buy credits à la carte, and they never expire.

   What if a plan I unlock comes back with no contact? +

You&#x27;re never charged for a contact we can&#x27;t find. If a lookup returns no valid decision-maker, the unlock isn&#x27;t billed — no support ticket, no credit burned.

   Is this compliant for cold outreach? +

Form 5500 filings are public records under ERISA §104, published by the DOL. We don&#x27;t provide legal or compliance advice — you&#x27;re responsible for following TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and FINRA/SEC marketing rules, and we recommend clearing any outbound program with your firm&#x27;s CCO.

   Do I have to talk to sales or sign an annual contract? +

No. Search is free with no card. Pro is $49/month, month-to-month, cancel anytime from billing settings — no seat licenses and no sales call, unlike the enterprise incumbents.
