Welcome to 401kHelp.com

EDITOR'S NOTE: These 401(k) plans are no longer being updated at FundAdvice.com for external use. The Merriman Research Team continues to provide 401(k) plan guidance for our clients. If you are interested in meeting with a Merriman advisor, please click here. We will continue to display these plans through the end of June, at which time they will be removed from the site and the largest plans will be moved over to Merriman.com.


401(k) Help Explanation
 
The 401kHelp section of FundAdvice.com is intended to help you understand your retirement plan investment options, and show you the best way to allocate your portfolio based on your own risk tolerance and investment goals.
   
401(k) plans may not offer mutual funds representing all the asset classes we think are appropriate.  When selecting mutual funds from a 401(k) plan, we emphasize the lower cost mutual funds within the favored asset classes or their closest substitutes and then increase the weighting of the chosen funds to compensate for asset classes not represented in the plan. 
 
Why we do this

Merriman is a Registered Investment Advisor with over $1.5 billion assets under management, and many of our clients are employed by companies listed at 401kHelp. We’re often asked to review 401(k) plans to recommend asset allocations with the best investment options offered.
