Are 401(k) Fees Falling?

A recent report notes that the average expense ratios that 401(k) plan participants pay have fallen for the seventh year in a row, while much of the controversy around the fiduciary regulation revolves around whether removing the conflicts of interest will raise or lower fees. What’s your sense – are 401(k) fees falling?

OK, that report – from the Investment Company Institute – only dealt with one element of plan fees (mutual fund expenses), and even then we’re talking about averages. This week, we’d like to know what you’re seeing among the plans you work with – and want to work with.

Reply to this week’s NAPA Net reader poll at https://www.research.net/r/PV5HF3C… and of course we’ll “wrap” it all up for you on Friday!
