Any and all fees incurred with the asset custodian, including but not limited to transaction fees, account maintenance fees, custodial account fees, expense ratios and commissions are the sole responsibility of the participating employee. The 401k plan sponsor (the employer) may choose to have the employee investment accounts charged for administrative fees or have the employer pay the administrative fees. Our administrative fees can be paid automatically and electronically by the employer from outside of plan assets or by the participating employee from their investment account. In either case our fee is the same, namely 25 basis points (1/4th of one percent) annually on plan assets ($25 per ten thousand annually). Our annual fees are pro-rated by quarter, assessed quarterly in arrears and subject to change by 401kAdministrators.com upon written notice to the sponsoring employer and participating employees at least 3 months in advance.
