Monsanto 401k (SIP) Plan PSDS Scan 12-31-2010





The Monsanto 401k plan investment fund options are described in Note 1. of the SEC 11-k report and shown here as they appeared in the portfolio design scan. Northern is the plan trustee but the plan has funds from Capital Group (American Funds) and others. I thought it prudent this year to link the options to funds in the scan. There were few changes from last year.

Monsanto stock --- MON

Fixed Income --- GIC.ing

Balanced Fund --- CLBAX

Growth & Income Fund --- CWGIX

Growth & Equity Fund --- NOGEX

International Equity Fund --- AEPGX

US Equity Index Fund ---NOSIX

Treasury Inflation-Protected Bond Fund --- TIP

Value Equity Fund --- NOLVX

Small Cap Growth Equity Fund --- NSGRX

Small Cap Value Equity FUND --- NOSGX

Four Asset Allocation Funds --- FFFAX, FFFBX, FFFCX, FFFDX


The Monsanto 401k plan like other large older company plans (Boeing, etc.) have defined benefit retiree assets listed in the SEC 11-k report that can run to well over 100 pages of individual stocks, bonds and government securities. These plans often participate in securities lending programs. In this years SEC-11-k report the Monsanto Pension and Savings Funds Investment Committee decided to reduce these activities as of 12-31-2009 for reasons given in Note 5. that I think are prudent.
