401(k) Investment Lineup

Our unique strategy builder helps participants
build the best portfolio for their needs.

Participants won’t need to worry about which investments to choose when you use 401GO. We’ve developed a tool to give them the best portfolio for their specific needs by answering just a few questions.

Many legacy providers create a few generic boxes and force participants into one or another. Our strategy builder is able to provide a much more customized approach. It takes into account the time horizon and risk tolerance, so that each employee gets exactly what they need, nothing more or less. It only takes about 5 minutes for employees to create their new accounts and begin building their portfolio. It’s the easiest, most customized system available today for your team!

Time horizon

How old are you? When do you plan to retire? This tells us how many years you have to save, invest, and build your wealth. Those with a long time horizon have more time to offset short term market declines. Those who are closer to retirement have a decreased capacity for risk and should be more cautious with their savings.

Risk tolerance

How much risk are you willing to take on? Do you prefer to keep your retirement savings in safer, more stable funds? Your personality is a factor in building the right portfolio for you. If you are risk averse, then it’s in your best interests to have a portfolio that is less volatile with lower risk exposure. 

Our investment lineup
includes a diverse selection of proven and affordable funds.

investment philosophy

We want you to succeed.

A 401(k) is often the first experience people have with investing, and we want it to be a good one. We strive to give you a platform you can easily navigate, along with a good selection of affordable funds that have the potential to perform well. 

  • The sooner you begin, the more you can save for your future. We want your retirement savings to be able to support you when you need it, so we supply you with plenty of fund options.
  • The right diversity will strengthen your portfolio. We offer funds that perform differently to market conditions, to help you maximize your progress.
  • Your investments should not be expensive. We offer high-quality, affordable funds that don’t eat into your dividends.
  • Your investing experience should be customized. Your age, your planned retirement age, your income needs, your savings ability, and your risk tolerance all contribute to a unique portfolio that’s created just for you.
