The 401(k) providers listed are companies that typically provide 401(k) services to plans valued at $1 million or less. If you do not find your plan’s current provider listed, please contact us for a free cost comparison. Cost estimates are based on quote-requests, interviews, and printed data as of 10/04. Plan sponsors should contact plan providers directly to ensure that rates reflect up-to-date costs of service.



For a company with 30 participating employees & up to $1,000,000 in assets. Because 401(k) providers usually restrict access to low-cost investments to participants in larger plans, participants in smaller plans, with aggregate values of less than $1,000,000, may see much greater savings.

†† These fees comprise investment management charges levied on individual investors by mutual funds. These fees are disclosed in mutual fund prospectuses but are usually excluded from a 401(k) provider’s sales proposal and contract.

††† Broker charges are typically paid by fund companies through high investment charges passed through to participants. However, if a participant sells shares before a certain date (usually 2 years), brokers deduct their fees directly from the individual account.

†††† The values shown, based on the investment fees listed, assume annual employee contributions of $260 per month and employer match of $75, earning 9% per year. All 401(k) plans may lose value and are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal. Amounts are for comparative purposes only, are not predictive and are no guarantee of future results.
