Hi,

I filled out papers 2 months ago telling my former employer to
transfer my 401(k) directly to an IRA. It hasn't happened yet.

The papers I signed specified a dollar amount, based on figures from
the end of May.

Are there any rules about who is supposed to profit from the gains, or
eat the losses, if the amount in my account increases/decreases before
the employer gets around to executing the transfer?  Should I expect
the dollar amount specified in the paperwork, regardless?

Thanks for any info/opinions.
