Southwest Gas is a publicly traded company and a subsidiary of Southwest Gas Holdings. It has 2500 employees and is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Employees currently at the company have access to a 401k which offer attractive savings alternatives. Here are some specifics about the plan you should be aware of:
- Southwest Gas matches 100% of the first 7% of your contributions on a dollar per dollar basis. Both employee and employer contributions immediately vest. There is also an additional 3% fixed contribution. The fixed contribution vests after three years.
- The plan offers both a traditional 401k and a Roth 401k option. With the traditional 401k plan, the contributions are made pre tax and the earnings are tax deferred. On the Roth 401k option, the contributions are after taxes but the earnings are tax free.
- The plan offers an after tax savings option where the contribution is after tax and the earnings are tax deferred.
- The plan is administered through Vanguard so their investment products are what you choose from
- It is important to go analyze the fund, index, and ETF choices. The history of each instrument, their managers, historical track records, and fees all have to be understood.
- Your age, time horizon, risk tolerance, return objectives, and liquidity needs need to be considered when thinking about what assets to choose in your 401k plan.
