AI and 408(b)(2) Fee Disclosures: Reading the Service-Provider Disclosure That Saves the Plan
AI parses dense fee disclosures into comparable formats; the committee benchmarks against industry data.
11 min · Reviewed 2026
The premise
408(b)(2) disclosures are dense, inconsistent across providers, and the only way to know if your plan is overpaying. AI can parse multiple disclosures into a comparable format, surface the indirect compensation, and tee up the benchmarking call.
What AI does well here
Parse multiple 408(b)(2) disclosures into a normalized fee table.
Surface indirect compensation that's easy to miss (12b-1, sub-TA).
Generate the question list for the recordkeeper RFP.
Draft the fee-benchmarking memo for committee minutes.
What AI cannot do
Replace independent benchmarking against industry data (NEPC, BrightScope).
Know whether your specific provider is offering hidden discounts elsewhere.
Decide if the fees are reasonable — that's the committee.
