What's with charging a custodian fee to the employee? I've worked at multiple employers that don't do that.

  This is a passed on fee, not charged by Guideline, not marked-up in anyway. We are just being transparent instead of wrapping it in the expense ratio like everyone else. It's very important to have an established custodian.

    That's interesting, does that mean you don't receive any compensation from that expense ratio, like sub transfer agent fees?
    • busque 10y ago
      Correct. If fees are due to Guideline, we use them to pay down the .03 custodial fees. :)

    My plan does not wrap this fee into the expense ratio. For example I hold the same fund in the my 401(k) and in my personal account. I am charged 5bps for both of them.
