About Vanguard 401(k)
Vanguard offers low-cost index funds and strong record-keeping for 401(k) plans but often requires more plan sponsor involvement in administration compared with OctaveWealth’s full-service 3(16) and dedicated manager model. Its asset-based fees can exceed OctaveWealth’s flat structure for smaller plans.
