Self-directed brokerage accounts allow you to transfer a specified amount of your tax-qualified workplace retirement investment dollars—held in plans like 401(a)s, 401(b)s, 457(b)s, TSPs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and similar accounts—to an outside financial advisor for professional management. Studies show that professional management by a financial advisor can outperform unmanaged accounts by 3.32%, net of fees. For a 45-year-old participant, this could translate to 75% more wealth at age 65!
While not all tax-qualified workplace retirement plans allow self-directed brokerage accounts or professional management, a larger and larger percentage of them do. New technology has played a big part in this, as well as consumer demand for more control over retirement funds—and more investment choices than their plan offers.
