Feb. 19, 2014
"The investment industry emerged in recent years as the dominant influence on and driver of 401(k)s. It was not always this way. In fact, self-directed investment -- putting the employee in charge of determining how to invest, choosing among a considerable number of investment funds or options -- is not an inherent attribute of the 401(k). The core feature of the 401(k) is the employee's ability to choose how much to contribute, not necessarily how to invest."
