high and/or hidden fees (= fees not fully disclosed to the plan sponsor) |

long, confusing mutual funds menu – plan participants are expected to navigate this and create viable retirement portfolios on their own |
 |
performance that’s undercut by heavy underlying mutual fund expenses |
 |
sub-optimal performance since investments are not professionally managed and rebalanced |

potential liability if the plan sponsor is sued |
