Depends on the managed fund, some (through Fidelity) are 0.01%. Others are higher, but there are no fees until I cash out. I can move money freely and an unlimited number of times. Plus the dividends that are reinvested each year in my 401k are fairly substantial.

But, an IRA might be a good way to go in addition to my 401k. Not arguing that point.
