Retirement accounts like 401(k)s, 403(b)s and Roth IRAs can be invested many ways. For employee-sponsored plans like 401ks or 403bs, employers usually opt for diversified trading pools, specifically mutual funds. Traditional mutual funds give employees the benefit of diversification while providing 401k plan sponsors and record keepers an easy way to track transactions through traditional mutual fund pricing. Investors get affordable access to different investment styles and markets. Historically, mutual funds have been a great fit for employer sponsored retirement accounts.
