Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) 401(k) fees are complex and may not closely correspond to costs. (2) also raise design issues, such as transfers from high-balance to lowbalance participants and from participants to non-plan investors. (3) Better disclosure could help employers and participants avoid unreasonable costs. (4) Policymakers may also want to opine on the transfers embedded in today's fee structure.
