How do I find out where my employer invests my retirement funds?
Question:
How do I find out where my 401(k) money is invested? How often should I receive reports about this from my employer?
Answer:
As you may have suspected, the Truly Meek are most likely to inherit nothing at all. No one will know they needed anything.
If you want this information, you will have to ask for it. In fact, administrators are not required to provide a statement of your account unless you request it in writing. Most administrators distribute statements at least annually, but if yours does not, he or she is required to comply with your written request.
