Investment Philosophy

Diversification, low-cost funds, and a long-term strategy.

Low-cost funds, built-in investment education

We make it easy to save for the future

Making investment decisions can be hard, especially when your employees are just getting started. Our diversified investment portfolios can do the heavy lifting so they can start saving in a few simple steps while minimizing fund fees.

Investment strategies should not be one-size-fits-all

Our portfolio design considers employees' risk profile and preferences. We automatically diversify assets globally in low-cost mutual funds and rebalance quarterly based on chosen portfolio preferences. Employees who want more flexibility can even choose and manage their own lineup from available funds.

Funds from every major asset class and risk category

Employers can select funds from nearly every mutual fund and index fund on the market. We offer several low-cost funds from leading investment companies, such as Vanguard, Dimensional Fund Advisors, TIAA-CREF, and more.

We deliver investment education to participants and advice to plans through Human Interest Advisors, LLC, an SEC-Registered Investment Adviser and a subsidiary of Human Interest, Inc.

Our investment philosophy

Minimize expenses

Just as interest compounds, so can fees. Extra fees can end up costing you a fortune in the long run. Low-cost index funds are an efficient way to optimize your portfolio.

Avoid performance chasing

401(k)s are a long-term investment, not a short-term bet. We’ll help you stay the course so you can weather the inevitable ups and downs of the market. We'll automatically rebalance your portfolio to ensure the appropriate level of diversification remains, keeping an eye on your long-term financial security.

Diversified portfolios

You shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket. Our portfolios follow Modern Portfolio Theory, which has the goal of maximizing reward while minimizing risk. Accordingly, we invest in assets that should respond differently to market changes.

Take the right amount of risk

A 25-year-old and a 55-year-old should not have the same 401(k) strategy. We help you figure out how to best balance risk and reward.

Get started today

The sooner you start, the better so that you can take advantage of compounding returns over a longer period of time. Our simple, streamlined interface lets you get started in minutes.
