401(k) plan
BlackRock believes that the 401(k) plan is one of the best ways for you to save for retirement. And
with the money we contribute to your account, you’ll see your 401(k) savings grow even faster.
Because this is such a powerful savings vehicle, new hires will be automatically enrolled 30 days after
your start date at a pre-tax contribution rate of 8% of your eligible compensation,* in the target date
fund closest to when you turn 65. Then, we’ll automatically increase your contributions by 1% each
year on your enrollment anniversary, up to 15% of your eligible compensation.*
Tip!
You can choose how much you save, how much your
savings rate increases and how you invest — and you
