Investors in defined contribution plans through Charles Schwab & Co. will receive the company’s investment advice for free, the company announced Monday.

The service extends beyond the offerings that standard participants receive and fills a needed gap, said Walter W. Bettinger II, president of Charles Schwab Corporate Services. "Until now, participants have been hampered by the lack of access to objective investment advice and by prohibitive costs. By providing access to specific recommendations of a qualified third-party investment advice provider at no additional cost, we believe Schwab can help 401(k) participants better meet their retirement savings goals," Bettinger said.
