What does the Dividend and Interest Income figure represent?

Dividend and Interest Income is cash you selected to have directed into your Income Management Account (IMA) using an Earnings Personal Withdrawal Service (PWS) plan. It also includes dividend and interest income accruing to any positions held in your IMA.

You can establish Personal Withdrawal Service by visiting Accounts & Trade > Update Accounts/Features and clicking Automatic Withdrawals. If you need help with a Personal Withdrawal Service change, contact your service specialist at 800-544-6666.

Personal Withdrawal Service cannot be set up on Fidelity record-kept workplace savings accounts or on any non-Fidelity accounts.

What constitutes additions from my portfolio?

The Additions From Your Portfolio figure represents any assets (cash or shares) transferred via direct deposits using special routing codes, TOA, Electronic Funds Transfer into your Income Management Account from accounts outside Fidelity, and transfers from accounts inside Fidelity.

What constitutes reinvestments to my portfolio?

The Reinvestments To Your Portfolio figure represents cash transferred from your Income Management Account to any other Fidelity accounts, and wire transfers and direct debit transfers using a special routing code to non-Fidelity accounts.

What if the asset withdrawal amount is positive?

If your non-investment income exceeded your spending over the last 30 days, the cash flow section displays a positive amount (surplus) for Asset Withdrawal, which represents a replenishment of the assets in your IMA

What if the asset withdrawal amount is negative?

If your spending exceeded non-investment income over the last 30 days, the cash flow section displays a negative amount (gap) for Asset Withdrawal. The gap amount represents the dollars covered by withdrawing assets from your IMA. IMA customers who depend on their assets to supplement their non-investment income will usually be in this situation.

What does the change in market value figure represent?

The change in market value is the difference in the market value of securities held in the IMA between the beginning and ending dates. When the IMA consists of only money market mutual funds, this amount will generally be zero.

How is spending calculated in the Cash Flow chart?

Spending is the total of all outflows from your Income Management Account (checks, bill payments, check requests, credit or debit card purchases, ATM withdrawals, or Electronic Funds Transfer or PWS transfers to your bank) for the calendar month, as per statement month-end data. Spending excludes reinvestments to your Retirement Income Portfolio.

How is non-investment income calculated in the Cash Flow chart?

Non-investment Income is the total of all inflows into the Income Management Account, except dividend and interest income and additions from your Retirement Income Portfolio. Non-investment income includes income from pensions, social security, income annuities, checks you deposit, other direct deposits, and other sources. These amounts are categorized based on cash received by ACH direct deposit. It may include transfers of principal. The entire amount listed may not be taxable income and may not reflect adjustments necessary for tax reporting purposes. Non-investment income is reported for the calendar month, and reflects your statement month-end data.

To be reported under the proper category, non-investment income such as Social Security and pension income must be directed using the Income Management Account ACH direct deposit instructions. If you need help setting up ACH direct deposit, contact your service specialist at 800-544-6666.

How is asset withdrawal calculated in the Cash Flow chart?

Asset withdrawal is calculated as total non-investment income less total spending amounts. Asset withdrawal covers the gap that occurs when spending exceeds non-investment income. If non-investment income exceeds spending for the calendar month, asset withdrawal for the month is shown as zero in the chart and table, but the actual surplus is used in calculating the rolling averages of the monthly asset withdrawal amount.

From what is the planned asset withdrawal amount in the Cash Flow chart derived?

The planned asset withdrawal amount is taken from your Retirement Income plan of record.

How are the 12-month averages in the table calculated?

The 12-month averages are rolling averages, calculated by adding the amounts for the previous 12 months and dividing by 12. You must have at least 12 full months of data available to see the 12-month averages.

I don't see a Cash Flow chart on the Income Management Account (IMA) Details page. What's wrong?

The Cash Flow chart is displayed only if you have at least one month of account activity.
