As a 401(k) plan advisor, I've seen firsthand the impact that high fees can have on an individual's ability to save for retirement and maintain a comfortable standard of living in retirement.
A recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that high fees in 401(k) plans can significantly reduce retirement wealth and income over time. The study, titled "The Effects of 401(k) Fees on Retirement Wealth," analyzed the impact of fees on retirement savings and income for a sample of individuals aged 50 to 60.
The results showed that fees of 1% can reduce retirement wealth by 17%, while fees of 2% can reduce retirement wealth by 31%.These numbers are alarming, and they emphasize the importance of taking steps to reduce plan fees.
