I don’t see why this can’t be clearer on a monthly statement - I thought the plan was commingled funds, but still an “individual” account.
As a data point, I added the flight pay earnings for the 10/15+10/31 checks. My MBCBP balance is $4 less than 16% of flight pay. Am I adding wrong?
Edit: I re-read R&I 23-03 and see the “interest credits” aka the investment returns won’t appear on the Fidelity site until Dec 15. The timeline chart on page 2 clears it up some for me.
I was under the impression the current balance shown on the Fidelity site shows all company contributions AND investment returns since Oct. Guess I need to brush up on the terminology a little better.
