401(k) Investing: Getting to Know Fees
If you participate in the BMC 401(k) Plan, you pay fees to cover investment management, administrative and operating expenses. Every 401(k) plan has an administrator to keep track of balances, contributions and withdrawals. And all mutual funds charge annual expenses to cover the fund’s operating costs.
Fidelity Investments, the BMC 401(k) Plan administrator, sent Plan participants an email in March announcing changes to the Plan, including the move to a more transparent approach to charging fees. Minimizing the fees and expenses you pay to the 401(k) Plan may help you increase your retirement nest egg—so be informed and review your options carefully.
