What is PSN?

In 1984, IIS introduced the first U.S. investment manager search and evaluation database - Plan Sponsor Network, or PSN. PSN is an advanced software and web application offering financial professionals high-quality, in-depth data on domestic and global investment managers.

Who Participates in PSN?

PSN currently has approximately 2,000 investment managers participating in the PSN database, which covers more than 10,000 investment products. Managers range in size and capabilities, but all are interested in sharing their data in an effort to increase their exposure to investment plan decision makers.

What Type of Information is Collected?

PSN is a very detailed database, capturing more than 2,000 data points for each investment manager. The data collected span from basic firm-level information to detailed, product-specific information. PSN is a separate account database but also carries a section for commingled funds and mutual funds. U.S. based products are divided by six asset classes, U.S. equity, U.S. fixed income, U. S. balanced, Non-U.S. equity, Non-U.S. fixed income, Non-U.S. balanced, Global equity, Global fixed income and Global Balanced.

Who Uses This Information?

Plan sponsors, investment consultants and brokerages use PSN applications to perform manager searches and product development. Money managers use PSN for competitive analysis and product positioning. Investment platforms use PSN as valuable content in their deliveries.
