As your retirement account balance grows, the standard investment lineup inside your employer’s plan may no longer be enough. You may want more investment flexibility, more sophisticated risk management, and more personalized oversight than a basic plan allows.

Our 401k Manager service is designed for exactly that moment. For clients whose plans offer Fidelity BrokerageLink®, we combine the flexibility of a self-directed brokerage account with the discipline of our full advisory process — and the ongoing, active management of a dedicated Scarborough advisor.

What Is Fidelity BrokerageLink®?

Fidelity BrokerageLink® is a self-directed brokerage account available within certain Fidelity workplace retirement plans. It provides access to a significantly wider range of investment options beyond your plan’s standard fund lineup — including individual stocks, ETFs, and thousands of mutual funds.

Your assets remain inside your employer-sponsored retirement plan. There is no rollover or withdrawal. BrokerageLink® is simply an investment option within the plan that unlocks a broader investment universe.
