As most of you know, TRP charges it's annual $10.00 fiduciary fee every August for Each Fund in an IRA that has a balance under $5,000.00.  Some of you may not know that you can prepay this fee, as opposed to just letting TRP deduct it from each fund.  There is a form for this, imagine that!, which is now available on line at:

Just scroll down to "IRA and ESA Fee Prepayment Form".

The two magic dates this year are:

August 14, 2008.  This is the date that Each Fund's balance must be over $5000.00 to avoid the Low Balance Fee in an IRA.

August 12, 2008.  This is the date that the form and your $10.00 Per Fund must arrive at TRP to avoid TRP from automatically deducting it from the fund.
