- It depends on the company. My company allows you to change the percentage
- of your contribution once a quarter, and to shift current 401(k) funds from
- one fund to another once every 6 months. Ask your benefits department for
- specific information, they will know exactly how your plan is implemented.
-
- My opinion is that with our company limiting movement of funds to once
- every 6 months, I'm leaving mine in our two stock funds indefinitely.
