<prompt> Human: So recently I checked my 401k and noticed all the money in my employer sponsored 401k had been moved from the 4 funds I put it in, to a generic company fund. I did not consent this change and was never notified. Are they allowed to just pull my money from the funds I had been contributing to for the past year and four months to this random generic fund? Assistant: Have you tried contacting the brokerage to ask them what happened?Human: I will do this tomorrow but I more so wanted to know if this is something they are allowed to do. If so and I really have no control over the funds I want to invest in my 401k I will probably just withdraw all my money all together.  <response>: Dont do this. The taxes youd incur would be massive. Even if you are pissed at the apparent loss of autonomy regarding investing, at most you should consider ceasing contributions. You will not likely make more money in the long run by nearly halving your principal right now.And before you cease contributions, check carefully to make sure you werent given any notice that this would occur. I know I often delete generic company emails, and then wonder later what I missed.
