The self-directed brokerage account is a brokerage account offered in the Plan and provided through Empower Brokerage. It gives participants access to thousands of mutual funds. Unlike the Plan’s current investment options, transaction fees and operating expense fees generally apply to the mutual funds available through the self-directed brokerage account. Participants may invest up to 50% of their total vested Plan account balance through the self-directed brokerage account. The minimum initial transfer into the self-directed brokerage account is $1,000 per account. Participants will need to establish separate accounts (each with a $1,000 minimum and subject to applicable fees) for amounts transferred from before-tax and Roth 401(k) accounts. The mutual fund participant’s selection may also require a minimum investment. An investment in the self-directed brokerage account must come from the current Plan balance through a funds transfer; participants cannot elect to directly invest future contributions, including loan repayments, into the self-directed brokerage account. No more than 50% of a participant’s future investment elections may be invested in the Berkshire Hathaway Class B Stock Fund. |
