June 24 - 26, 2009 Marriott · Des Moines, Iowa It is more important than ever to understand your 401(k) fees. 401(k) fees can be assessed as explicit out-of-pocket expenses or charged as a percentage of assets. These expenses can be charged to either the sponsoring law firm or the plan’s participants. Often they are assessed both ways, in some combination to the firm and its participants. Unique 401(k) Plans HOW IS THE ABA RETIREMENT FUNDS PROGRAM DIFFERENT FROM for Law Firms OTHER PROVIDERS? TWO REASONS: 1. The ABA Retirement Funds program was created by a not- for-profit organization within the ABA to provide a member benefit, not generate revenue for the ABA. 2. The ABA Retirement Funds program achieves the necessary economies of scale with over $3 billion invested to eliminate all explicit fees for firms, and provide investments for participants with low asset based fees. Let the ABA Retirement Funds program provide you with a cost comparison so you can better understand your direct 401(k) fees, and see how we can help you to provide an affordable 401(k), without sacrificing service, to your firm.
