The T Standard — 2.0 Transition measurement standard updated Used industry-wide for more than five years, the T Standard has been updated to reflect feedback requested from plan sponsors, providers and consultants. Input from plan sponsors, consultants, and other transition management providers indicated few changes were needed to this industry standard, but we did clarify ambiguities, expand reach into uncovered areas, and improve the level of transparency. Enhancements to the T Standard:   More clarifying examples throughout the text. Timing of different components of the performance period(s) is described in more detail. Changes to the target portfolio during the implementation period are measured using the prior night's closing prices (T-1) prior to practical implementation of the target adjustment. Increased transparency is provided through disclosure around the timing of the receipt of portfolio information and/or target portfolio changes. Clarity is offered on the prices allowable for return calculation. Generally speaking, sources will be independent and disclosed, with calculation methodologies given in footnotes. For specific questions about the updated T Standard, please contact Steve Kirschner at 253-439-2532 or Travis Bagley at 253-439-4863.
