Question: Why is The 401k AdvantageTM so important?
Answer:
Your 401K plan allows you to control your own retirement destiny. Deferring as much as you can afford to into your 401K and taking advantage of your employer’s matching funds are key components to maximizing your benefit. Being diligent with your savings, however, is just half the battle.
We have heard countless stories about 401K accounts being slashed by 50% or more during the 2000-2002 bear market. Many other 401K participants are invested too conservatively to realistically reach their retirement goals. Others simply have no idea how their 401K should be invested, so they take the least painful path of keeping the funds sitting in an interest bearing cash or money market fund. All of these scenarios are completely understandable, because the typical 401K participant does not work in the investment industry, has not received formal training, and many times feels intimidated by all the fund choices and industry jargon.
The 401K AdvantageTM allows you to take control of your retirement assets. It gives you the confidence to know you are investing your 401K in a manner that allows you to maximize your return potential for the level of risk you are comfortable with. It also emphasizes the importance of diversification, risk containment, and protecting this retirement asset you have worked so hard to accumulate.
