WHY SWITCH 401(K) PROVIDERS?
Are you unsure whether your business’s 401(k) plan should change? We have resources designed to help business owners and benefits managers understand their current 401(k) plan. Use one of our 401(k) tools below to see how competitive your current plan is, and whether or not you are getting the full benefits of offering a retirement plan.
- 401(k) Plan Review Tool – Answering these nine questions will help you determine if your current plan is meeting the needs of your business.
- Benchmark Report – We can support your decision to change providers by conducting a detailed analysis of your plan. View a sample of a 401(k) benchmark report.
- Understanding and Analyzing Fees – How much should a plan cost? It depends on what you and your employees value but you should understand the federal laws around fees being reasonable.
Any review should include a Fee Analysis. Ask your current 401(k) recordkeeper, adviser and third party administrator for clarity on their fee disclosure. Plan sponsors and business owners can mistakenly think their total fees are shown on their statement. But fees can be hidden in withdrawals and costing you and your employees more than you realize.
REASONS TO SWITCH PROVIDERS
Research shows the majority of employers believe there is a better 401(k) plan available.* But they don’t always have the time to research and make the change.

Paying Too Much in Fees
- It has been calculated that an American household will pay, on average, nearly $155,000 over the course of their lifetime in effective total fees.**
- Many of the fees paid by plan participants are buried in withdrawals and not clear to them or their employer.

Attract and Retain Employees
- 81% of workers agree that, all else being equal, the retirement benefits offered by an employer would be a major factor in deciding to take a job.***
- A provider should be present with support and advice for your team, not just management.

There’s a Better Plan
- Each business has unique needs and large providers may not be willing to customize for yours.
- The right provider should tailor its plan for you and your employees.
- * Research methodology: Fisher Investments 401(k) Solutions fielded an online survey in between December 11 and December 21, 2018 among 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plan sponsors at small business (5 to 350 employees). The survey aimed to learn what influences the plan sponsor when offering a retirement plan. When conducting this survey, Fisher investments interviewed a total of 500 plan sponsors.
