KPMG 401(k) Plan

The KPMG 401(k) Capital Accumulation Plan covered 55,312 participants and held approximately $10.49 billion in plan assets at year-end 2024. Bank of America, N.A. serves as trustee and recordkeeper, with Grant Thornton LLP as the independent auditor. The plan was renamed from the KPMG 401(k) Plan effective January 1, 2022, when the firm replaced its matching contribution with an age-and-service-based non-elective Capital Accumulation Plan (CAP) contribution. The 2024 filing reports a small delinquent participant contribution remittance of $5,313 that was fully corrected.

Why our allocations use only index funds

The actively managed funds in this plan cost more per year than the plan's index funds, which run roughly 0.02% to 0.06%. Decades of research on long-term active fund performance do not support reliable outperformance net of fees, which is why the allocation ideas below may consider using only the low-cost index options.
