Note: Dan Wiener mentions that Adviser Investments employees are invested in the same funds as clients through our 401(k) planA 401(k) plan is a retirement account that a company sets up on behalf of its employees. Both the participant and the employer can contribute to the account. There are two types of 401(k)s, traditional and Roth. Income invested in traditional 401(k)s isn’t taxed while it’s invested, but is taxed when it’s withdrawn. Income invested in a Roth 401(k) is taxed before it’s invested, but no tax is paid when it is withdrawn.. Our retirement plan does include the same funds our clients are invested in; additionally, employees have the option to choose funds outside of the plan or to choose not to participate in the plan. Employees are eligible for the plan after one year of full-time employment.
