...advice and asset-management services aimed at 401(k) sponsors and participants. These services will provide one-on-one access to planners.

Users will pay 0.6% of their assets annually, and portfolios will be reassessed periodically...
...numbers hint that such a scenario is taking shape again. Treasury bonds this year have returned 13.9% and cash (T bills) 3.9%, both outstripping the 2.2% return from stocks, according to Ibbotson Associates. The disparity is less dramatic after taxes.

...time was a disappointment to Elliott. With no one pushing him, he complained, he had "faded a little" toward the end. All he had done was run a 3:57.8 mile, his fourth under four minutes and the second fastest ever. Only Britain's Derek Ibbotson. who last year was clocked in 3:57.2, has done better. But Ibbotson's time, like Elliott's, may never be accepted by the International Amateur Athletic Federation because both marks were made with the aid of "pacers.''
