Marriott International, Inc. 401(k): best low-cost funds
Marriott Retirement Savings Plan · Plan #004 · Bethesda, MD
Suggested simple Boglehead mix
The public data doesn't show enough index funds from this plan to suggest a full mix. A typical Boglehead approach: look in your menu for a US total market or S&P 500 index fund, an international index fund, and a US bond index fund, all with expense ratios under about 0.10%. Or use one low-cost target-date index fund. How the 3-fund portfolio works.

FAQ
What are the best low-cost funds in the Marriott International, Inc. 401(k)?

Can I build a three-fund portfolio in the Marriott International, Inc. 401(k)?
Possibly. Many large plans offer the three building blocks, but the public data for this plan doesn't confirm it. A low-cost target-date index fund is a common one-fund alternative.

The plan reported about $11.7B in net assets and 127,452 participants with balances for plan year 2024, according to its DOL Form 5500 filing.
