I just got the paperwork to enroll in the company's 401k plan. They provide two options: self-investing or via their investment firm in Philadelphia (for a fee). This is all new to me, so which way should I go, and how much should I expect to pay in fees???
I am certain that at your company there will be some persons who can better advice you than we can. People enrolled in the 401k. Ask them for what they are invested in and the fees they have paid. Most people if their 401k has done well will talk your ear off. If they turn their head and look the other way, that is an indication that their investments in the 401k have not done too well.
Actually, the only 401k I have experience with is the one that my company provides. They provide a selection of mutual funds run by Vanguard. There are no fees at all other than the expenses of the mutual funds which run about 1.2% annually. Typical of mutual funds. For a beginning investor mutual funds are an excellent option, better than self-investing if you do not have any experience.
Without knowing the precise options, I can not offer any further suggestions.

It is according to who their investment firm is?
Our company uses ML and we do our own investing.
There are no fees for us to do this.

Vanguard's expense ratios DO NOT average 1.2%!
Try sub 0.5%, and even lower on most of their index funds....eg, the 500 Index Fund has a 0.18% expense ratio!

Make sure you know what the plan is and what it has to offer, find out if it is DC-define contribution or DB- define benefit. also educate your self in investing, because when u retire it might be a little difficult to invest then if you don't know anything about investing. also if you don't know anything it might be a good idea to let someone who does also have experience and trust.

Unless you know a lot about investments go with the investment firm. Usually the fees are small. They may only kick in once you sell the investment. Call the investment company rep and ask them all your questions, that's what they are there for.

fees generally are NOT small & definitely unnecessary. Do they list what options you have for the self-directed 401k? Usually not many to choose form. No fixed or guranteed income - period. Equities can beat inlfation others can not. If send me a list of options would be glad to help.
