A 401(k) is a retirement savings plan sponsored by the employer. This plan has the ability to allow you to defer taxes by making contributions from your paycheck pre-tax to grow tax-deferred or after-tax to grow tax-free, if the Roth option is part of your plan. Ask us which option is best for you. We will help you to create an asset allocation that best suits your needs.
