457 plan Blackrock funds, what does Coll F mean?

[stonerolled]

I tried to find the dividends on my Blackrock Russell 1000 index Coll F and could not find it reported.
My vanguard large cap index funds show the dividend transactions quarterly. I phoned Great West and they said that it really wasnt the fund but a collection of funds so the dividends are N/A. The fees are very low in the plan. net expense ratio 0.3%.
Does anyone know what is going on with Coll F designation?
I think Buffett said "If you don't understand it, don't buy it".

It sounds like a Collective Investment Trust. Blackrock runs a lot of those.

Thanks for the reference. It describes the situation pretty well.
The article did not seem to have a negative tone on the subject.

They don't distribute dividends, just reinvest them automatically, so every December you miss out on the fun of wondering why the share price just dropped
