High fees???? LOL!! I would love those extremely low account maintenance fees in my 457 plan. The problem in this person's case is they have so little in their account. Those would be great low fees with any reasonable balance.
The 457 plan I am in doesn't charge a dollar amount, they charge a yearly plan fee of .75% on all investment balances (all funds, not to be confused with fund expense fees.)
With your plan, it says for $64,000 or more account balance, the monthly fee is only $13.62
I have a few hundred thousand in my plan's funds, so at .75%, my yearly fee is about $2,700, which is $225 per month! I would much rather pay $13.62. What a deal!
A couple side notes: My 457 plan has a fixed income option that pays a flat 3%, which does not require the participant to pay the .75% account fee on the balance in the fixed income fund. And, my expense ratios in the mutual funds (including S&P index fund) are much higher than my Vanguard funds, in addition to the account fee, so I plan to move the mutual funds over to Vanguard with my other investments when I leave my employer.
Edit: I hit the 0 key one too many times when I entered my balance. Corrected now as shown.
