Turning raw Form 5500 filings into actionable 401(k) plan intelligence for asset managers and distributors.
Axiomatic Plan Intelligence transforms U.S. Department of Labor Form 5500 filings into a structured, query-ready database of the retirement plan market. Built from core filings and Schedules A, C, and H, it gives asset managers, DCIO wholesalers, RIAs, TAMPs, and pension consultants a clear view of who runs America’s defined contribution and defined benefit plans, what they hold, what they pay, and which providers they rely on.
The database covers approximately 60,000 plans, 450+ asset managers, and 6,500+ funds, with roughly three years of filing history to support trend and change analysis. Its core differentiator is fund-level holdings intelligence parsed from Schedule H line 4i attachments, an unstructured PDF data source that most competitors have not solved, paired with fund normalization that links mutual fund and collective investment trust (CIT) versions of the same underlying strategy. Schedule C service-provider compensation data adds visibility into fees and the provider relationships behind each plan.
Content is organized into 200+ pre-computed data elements across 20 categories, so users can screen, benchmark, and prospect without wrangling raw filings. Unlike fund-return or security-level databases, Axiomatic focuses on the plan sponsor and allocator layer of the market, a complement to existing fund and market-data feeds rather than a substitute. Common applications include plan and opportunity sizing, competitive displacement analysis, fee benchmarking, and distribution targeting.
Coverage refreshes quarterly, with a transition to monthly updates underway. Data is delivered via API and bulk file/data feed, and ships with pre-computed change events so period-over-period movements in assets, funds, and providers are flagged rather than left for the client to derive.
