What are average 401(k) fees in electric lighting equipment mfg?
Among defined contribution plans that report any Schedule C compensation, the median was $142 per participant and 0.28% of net assets (nationally $123 and 0.26%). Schedule C leaves out fund expense ratios and fees the employer pays, so it understates total cost.
