Samsung Electronics America, Inc. 401(k): best low-cost funds
Samsung 401(k) Plan · Plan #001 · Englewood Cliffs, NJ
Suggested simple Boglehead mix
The public data doesn't show enough index funds from this plan to suggest a full mix. A typical Boglehead approach: look in your menu for a US total market or S&P 500 index fund, an international index fund, and a US bond index fund, all with expense ratios under about 0.10%. Or use one low-cost target-date index fund. How the 3-fund portfolio works.

FAQ
What are the best low-cost funds in the Samsung Electronics America, Inc. 401(k)?
The free public data doesn't list enough of the Samsung Electronics America, Inc. plan's index funds to say. Look in your plan's fee disclosure (404a-5 notice) for a US stock index fund, an international index fund and a bond index fund with low expense ratios.
Can I build a three-fund portfolio in the Samsung Electronics America, Inc. 401(k)?
Possibly. Many large plans offer the three building blocks, but the public data for this plan doesn't confirm it. A low-cost target-date index fund is a common one-fund alternative.

The plan reported about $3.1B in net assets and 18,369 participants with balances for plan year 2024, according to its DOL Form 5500 filing.
