Your 401(k) plan review is booked.
Stefan will see you at the time you selected. The conversation is 30 minutes, focused, and useful whether or not you decide to work with us. Here is what to bring and what to expect.
Two things to have within reach.
These two documents let us cover real ground in 30 minutes instead of asking you questions you may not have answers to.
Your most recent 408(b)(2) fee disclosure
This is the document your recordkeeper sends each year showing what the plan actually costs. A PDF or screenshot is perfect.
Your current investment lineup
The list of funds available inside the plan. Usually one page from your recordkeeper or available in the participant portal.
Cannot lay hands on them? No problem. We will still make the call useful and tell you exactly which questions to take back to your recordkeeper or HR team.
Stefan Whitwell, CFA®, CIPM

Stefan is the founder, CEO, and Chief Investment Officer of Whitwell & Co. He has spent his career on Wall Street (Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse First Boston, James D. Wolfensohn) across New York, London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, and now helps founders and families build financial architectures that last.
He is a Wharton graduate, a CFA® and CIPM charterholder, and has served five years on CFA Institute's global Educational Advisory Committee. He approaches every plan review with the same posture: tell you what is true, even when it is inconvenient.
Thirty minutes, four questions.
- What your plan is actually costing you and your participants, all-in.
- Whether the investment lineup is doing the job your participants need.
- Whether the plan design still fits where the company is today (and where it is going).
- What a better plan could look like, and what it would take to get there.
