A 401(k) plan is a retirement savings plan sponsored by an employer for its employees. The 401(k) plan arrangement allows an employee to choose between taking compensation in cash or deferring a percentage of it to a 401(k) retirement account which is usually not taxable to the employee until it is withdrawn or distributed from the plan.

Choosing the best retirement plans for individuals and for businesses is one of the most important financial decisions that can be made. 401(k) retirement plans have traditionally utilized the same basic approach for decades; employers provide a list of investment options to their employees which creates a confusing challenge for the majority of employees who are not investment savvy. They need additional 401(k) retirement plan resources, advice and a better retirement savings plan.
