How to Invest in a 401k | BeatTheBush

When you sign up for an employer 401k plan, you are allowed to invest in various assets by selecting the percentage you want in each allocation. Generally you need to pick a target fund date suitable for your age and when you wish to retire. The closer you are to retirement, the more conservative it needs to be so that you do not find yourself deep in losses with not enough time for the market to bounce back.

Within a 401k you will find many other types of funds and they generally have a high expense ratio would could eat up into your retirement if you keep your money in these funds for a long time. Do think about transferring the assets out if you ever change employers to an individual IRA instead where you will have a lot more options for lower expense ratio ETF funds. In the mean while, you can also search for the lowest expense ratio fund that the 401k plan offers.
