My company offers an option of Self Directed Brokerage through our 401K plan, can anyone offer up pros and cons on such an account. I also tried to attach a copy of the fee schedule, which was unsuccessful . What kind of fees are typical of a self directed account? Just a thought but since its through my work place and a 3rd party"wells Fargo" knowing palms with have to be greased in all business transactions the fees and any other charges you can imagine would be higher. I just don't see the benefit of something like this. Would be better off opening a brokerage account outside of 401K and the work place with fidelity, vanguard etc. Just spit balling here, work is slow this morning. Anyone have any thoughts?
