Saw my MBCBP value today. Here's how: Netbenefits Home page-> Plan & Learn (drop down menu)-> Manage overall finances-> Net worth view details. It was in the list of Fidelity Investments.

thanks for this. Mine shows zero but the net worth total includes it for some reason

or under the Full View version, on the Home page it is under the 'Accounts' panel that is displayed

Anyone underwhelmed by Fidelity’s first statement for the MBCBP? I have one figure listed with no context of what it is, the company’s payment, or what investment vehicle/ROR. Am I missing something on visibility of the account?

As far as I can tell you are missing nothing. It is just a statement of your balance and nothing else--no record of contributions made, investments selected, allocation of assets etc. I suppose I can live with that, but there's a whole lot of "trust" involved.

I cannot understand why these contributions don't show up on our paystub. No explanation has been given.

Because it's technically considered a pension and pension fund contributions never showed up on paystubs either I don't think.

Well, there's one explanation.

I'm sure someone with a tiny bit of intelligence and IT experience could figure out how to display it on our paystubs though. But MBCBP is technically a defined benefit plan not a defined contribution plan so it's a pension technically. Everyone's funds are all mixed together and you are just shown your "cash balance" which is pretty opaque. Partly why I opted out.

I’m starting to wonder if I should have opted out. The whole thing seems really shady. Also, the word “pension” scares me.
