I have one 401K account with Vanguard. I have had it about 8 years. I have found their statements very easy to understand. The investments are hard erto transfer however.than my Principal account. Customer service is very helpful!

My previous employer, Cambridge Associates, used Vanguard for its 401k plan. Cambridge Associates is an investment consulting company that helps many of the country's most important non-profits (think big hospitals, museums, ivy league schools) and wealthiest families manage their money. It's Cambridge's job to pick good managers - and Cambridge picked Vanguard for its own retirement funds.

Why?

Most importantly: Vanguard offers a wide selection of low-cost funds.

Also: I found Vanguard's website and customer service to be superb.

Though I no longer keep my 401k with Vanguard - I do keep an IRA and Roth IRA there. I'm a fan. Investors who are a lot smarter than me are also fans.
