The 401k Secret Wall Street Hopes You Never Find
Most people think a 401k limits them to a small list of mutual funds and target-date options — but that’s not the whole story. In this episode, I explain how a self-directed brokerage account (SDBA) can expand your 401k investment options, give you greater flexibility, and put more control in your hands. You’ll learn what an SDBA is, why less than 5% of employees use it, and how it can become a powerful tool for smarter retirement planning and long-term investing.
