The ETFs will be available for 401(k), 457, and 403(b) plans on the 401kDIRECT platform through the Mid Atlantic Trust Company’s ETFxChange Program, according to a news release.
Key features of the offering, which is offered in bundled and un-bundled 401KDIRECT programs, include the ability to trade like mutual funds and the availability of “virtually unlimited trading,” according to the company. It can also be offered alongside traditional mutual funds.
