401(k) Plan Mismanagement

Excessive fees and imprudent investments in 401(k) plans can significantly erode retirement savings over time, leaving individuals with far less money to support their needs in retirement. If you suspect your 401(k) plan may be burdened with excessive fees or imprudent investments, contact us. We can help you understand your plan and options.

Why might my 401(k) be vulnerable to abuse?

  • There may be conflicts of interests: One of the main problems contributing to excessive fees is the inherent conflict of interest within the industry. Service providers and plan administrators have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of plan participants. However, some providers may prioritize their own financial gain over the participants' well-being, leading to higher fees and lower returns.

  • 401(k) fees are opaque and confusing: Many participants are simply not aware of the fees being charged within their plans, leaving individuals unable to make informed decisions about their investment choices to understand the impact of these fees on their retirement saving.
