(a) General. Under the authority of section 103(b)(3)(G) of the Act, a plan whose assets are held in whole or in part in a common or collective trust maintained by a bank, trust company, or similar institution which meets the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section shall include as part of the annual report required to be filed under § 2520.104a-5 or § 2520.104a-6 the annual statement of assets and liabilities of the common or collective trust for the fiscal year of the trust ending with or within the plan year for which the annual report is made and other information as described in paragraph (c) of this section. Such plan is not required to include in the annual report any information concerning the individual transactions of the common or collective trust. This exemption has no application to assets not held in such trusts.
(b) Application. This provision applies only to a plan some or all of the assets of which are held in a common or collective trust maintained by a bank, trust company, or similar institution regulated and supervised and subject to periodic examination by a State or Federal agency. For purposes of this section,
(1) A common or collective trust is a trust which consists of the assets of two or more participating entities and is maintained for the collective investment and reinvestment of assets contributed thereto, and
(2) Plans maintained by a single employer or by the members of a controlled group of corporations, as defined in section 1563(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, shall be deemed to be a single participating entity.
(c) Contents. (1) A plan which meets the requirements of paragraph (b) of this section shall include in the Annual Return/Report and in the separate statements and schedules of the annual report, information regarding the value of the units of participation in the common or collective trust held by the plan and transactions involving the acquisition and disposition by the plan of units of participation in the common or collective trust. However, the annual report is not required to include any information regarding the individual transactions of the common or collective trust.
(2) The annual report of such plan shall also include the annual statement by the bank, trust company, or similar institution of the assets and liabilities of the common or collective trust for the fiscal year of the trust ending with or within the plan year for which the annual report is made.
(3) The statement of assets and liabilities of the common or collective trust is not required to be attached to the annual report filed by the administrator pursuant to § 2520.104a-5 or § 2520.104a-6 if the administrator meets the requirements of § 2520.103-9 regarding direct filing of the statement of assets and liabilities of the common or collective trust by the bank, trust company or similar institution.
