Former employer used Fido to manage the 401(k). That is where my IRA is as well.
The funds available through the 401(k) are limited, but they wisely chose a decent selection of low-cost ETFs. The S&P500 index ETF was exactly the same in both funds. The expense ratio is the same for both the 401(k) and my IRA for any funds I'd likely be interested in. (Don't want/need a target date fund, for instance.....)
Nobody is telling me I need to roll my 401(k) over. I guess the protections are a bit better for the 401(k) but I understand this varies by state.
Since both are Fido, it all shows up in one log in, included in the same dashboard and both are managed as easily as two savings accounts for one account owner at Ally, for instance.
Assuming I stay with Fidelity, any reason to roll (or not roll) my 401(k) over? Am I missing a big-picture issue?
TIA.
