Too Much Company Stock in Your 401(k)?
According to a recent Issue Brief by the Employee Benefits Research Institute and the Investment Company Institute, a third of employees who are able to invest in company stock through their 401(k) have more than 20 percent of their account balance in their employer's stock. What's more, for almost 9 percent of those who can invest in company stock, that figure is more than 80 percent.
Now is a good time to ask yourself whether you hold too much of your retirement nest egg in your employer's stock. If so, if the company's stock takes a beating, so does your retirement savings.
For more information, read Putting Too Much Stock in Your Company — A 401(k) Problem.
