Book excerpt: Millions of employees change jobs each year and some leave their savings in their former employers' 401(k) plans. If their accounts are small enough and they do not instruct the plan to do otherwise, plans can transfer their savings into an IRA without their consent. The United States Government Accountability Office examined the implications for 401(k) plan participants of being forced out of plans and into these IRAs. This book examines what happens over time to the savings of participants forced out of their plans; the challenges 401(k) plan participants face keeping track of retirement savings in general; and how other countries address similar challenges of inactive accounts. This book also discusses the issues plan sponsors, fiduciaries, service providers, and other parties face in handling plan benefits payable to participants and beneficiaries who cannot be found or are nonresponsive.

Download or read book Your 401k written by Roger Levy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does your 401(k) plan offer the investment options and features that are best suited to provide you with a secure retirement income? The danger that may lurk within your plan is that available options are imprudent and that you are paying excessive expenses that eat away at investment earnings. This guide brings a novel approach to help you answer that question. Employers have many responsibilities to meet before employees enroll in a 401(k) plan and many of these continue throughout the life of the plan. As a participant, you generally see only the results of your employer's decisions. The process your employer undertakes in making those decisions is rarely described. Yet if the employer's process was more transparent, you would have better tools to evaluate your plan and available investment options, building more confidence in the process. On the other hand, if you saw opportunities for improvement in the plan, you could bring these to your employer's attention. Within this guide, you will follow the prudent steps that your employer should take in managing a 401(k) plan's investment process, with easy questions to ask your employer if any of these matters are unclear to you or seems amiss. The foregoing matters are described in Part One of this guide. In Part Two, you will learn the basics of financial and retirement planning. Of necessity, this includes discussion of some of the material found in Part One, in case a reader should skip to Part Two first. In addition, because this guide may find its way into the hands of employers, there is a Message to Employers at the end of the guide, to explain the relevance of this guide to employers' fiduciary responsibilities. Finally, while the guide refers to 401(k) plans, it applies equally to work-place 403(b) plans!

Download or read book 401 k Plans written by Charles A. Jeszeck and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many 401(k) plan participants lack the knowledge, interest, or time to manage their retirement accounts. In response, plan sponsors have increasingly offered managed account services to their participants -- services under which providers manage participants' 401(k) savings over time by making investment and portfolio decisions for them. These services differ from investment options offered within 401(k) plans. Because little is known about whether managed accounts are advantageous for participants and whether sponsors understand their own role and potential risks, this report reviewed these services. It examines (1) how providers structure managed accounts; (2) their advantages and disadvantages for participants; and (3) challenges sponsors face in selecting and overseeing providers.
