Empower Retirement
« on: May 15, 2018, 10:30:38 AM »
Hi All

First timer here, figured you guys could probably help. My husband just moved to a new company and their 401K is through Empower Retirement, who we are not familiar with. We would appreciate some advice and thoughts on the offerings. Thanks.

It might be helpful to know your age and investment goals. Without any of that info I would say this is the best fund in that list as far as return/cost. The 13 year old in me really wants to point out that its called FU SEX.

Agree on FUSEX, most likely that will have the lowest expense ratio, but it would be a good idea to check and make sure.

Expense ratio on FUSEX is 0.09%, which is the lowest of them all.

Going by the names, I'd say a mix of these three is a good choice. I would personally give them equal weight.

Weighting is up to you, but these three give you broad market exposure both domestic and international, at very low expenses.
