The Institute supports national policies that create or enhance tax-advantaged savings accounts for mutual fund investors because of the benefits such accounts provide to shareholders seeking to meet long-term financial goals. Historically, ICI has urged that policymakers take concrete steps to facilitate saving and support measures, such as automatic 401(k) plan enrollment, greater access to investment advice within defined contribution plans, and flexible asset withdrawal, that encourage Americans to make the best use of the savings incentives at their disposal.
Because of the growing importance of 401(k) plans in fund investors' retirement planning strategies, this site also includes a Resource Center focused on 401(k) plan and plan participant topics.
