Rank Your 401(k) Funds
By SmartMoney.com Staff

SO YOU'VE got the list of mutual funds available in your 401(k). Now what? Most plan providers aren't much help when it comes to selecting particular funds. You've got to do the dirty work yourself.

Our fund ranking system can help. Type in the ticker symbols of the mutual funds in your plan. (If you don't know the symbols, use our Fund Symbol Lookup.) Then, select the criteria you'd like to use to rank the funds. There are 11 choices including Morningstar rating, returns and expense ratio. For more detailed information on individual funds, click on the fund name in the applet to link to our Mutual Fund Snapshots.
