Oscar Said:

Is your company selling your 401(k) to management firms?

We Answered:

I think it tells more about the company you work for than anything else.

Before I go any further, let me point out that I am the employee representative on my company's 401(k) committee. Given that I am (1) an arrogant SOB and (2) a senior manager for my company, it should tell you something that the employees keep nominating me to be their rep on the board and my company keeps appointing me. The employees see that I push hard for their best interest and my company wants the 401(k) benefit to be a popular and excellent benefit for the employees.

The world of financial advice and management is full of jackles and thieves, but most of the time 401(k) plans are sh** it's because the sponsor (your company) (1) doesn't know what it is doing, (2) doesn't care, or (3) works out a sweat deal with the plan advisor to minimize the costs of the plan to the employeer.

Be careful about using the word "kickback." The simple truth is that 401(k) plans are expensive (to the company offering the benefit). Granted, they are cheaper than pension plans, but that's not saying much since pensions are very, very, expensive in the long hall.

And, employees don't "sell" plans -- independant advisors are hired to manage them according to federal and state laws which are very demanding.

The other thing to consider is as a former employee, rather than current employee, you fall into a differnent class of "people" as far as your former employer maybe concerned.

I cannot speak for your company, but for mine costs are very important -- if the plan is too expensive the company will have to cut back on other benefits, etc. Small accounts (under $10,000) are the most expensive to manage. The 401(k) committee with me in the lead has intentionally changed policies to encourage FORMER employees with less than $10,000 in the plan to take their money elsewhere...we don't mind small accounts for active employees, but former employees are just expenses with no up side for the plan or the company.

The same may be true with your former employeers...they may be trying get you to leave the plan(s).

And, that's not usually a bad idea -- do a direct rollover to a Vanguard IRA. It will likely be cheaper and better for you anyway.

Cheers.

Dwight Said:

What are the courses one should study to became a fund manger?

We Answered:

My ex husband is a "real" fund manager. He worked for a top NYC investment bank as a bond trader and established a lot of relationships and did extremely well on the job. When he left this high-stress environment, he worked for a while as a portfolio manager with a huge pay cut and then found a company that was willing to let him have the money to start his own fund.

Quite frankly, a correspondence degree is not going to look so good. You're competing against people with finance degrees from Columbia, Wharton, etc.

My best advice would be to get your foot in the door with a large investment firm, starting out in research, analysis, or something similar. They're generally interested in people with degrees in math and physics. Then build relationships and move up within the company. Most of what you need to know, you'll learn on the job and you'll be doing a lot of reading and restudying things while you work there.
Good luck.
