A 401(k) savings plan is an employer-sponsored retirement account that lets employees set aside a portion of their paycheck on a tax-advantaged basis, often with employer matching contributions that act like free additional savings. It matters to investors because matching, tax-deferred growth and investment choices can significantly boost long-term wealth—while plan rules or heavy concentration in a single company’s stock can increase an employee’s financial exposure to that company.
