What is a 401(k) plan?
A 401(k) is a savings vehicle established by a business or self-employed person to help employees and business owners save for retirement as well as take advantage of the tax benefits provided to both the business owner and employees. A 401(k) plan can accommodate the needs of a broad range of retirement planning objectives.
