My wife got a new job recently and her 401k plan has limited choices, basically Target Date funds, index funds and some lousy equity funds. Fidelity is the administrator. For now, I've got all her money going into the S&P500 index fund.
When I logged onto her account I see there is an option to open a Fidelity BrokerageLink account, which apparently will open up a whole universe of investment options. For example, any Fidelity mutual fund is available with no commission, no fees. In fact, I think any Fidelity product has no fees or commissions (unless you have a phone representative make the trade for you.) It looks like she can have her payroll deductions sent directly into the BrokerageLink account.
There is an FAQ page and a commissions schedule to look at online, which I can study, but I'm looking to get ER.org's quick take on it.
Has anybody used Fidelity's BrokerageLink Account? What do you like about it and not like about it?
