5:30 am
hi, everyone. welcome to "on the money." i'm becky quick. why your next visit to the doctor and not in person, a different kind of house call. what's the best place to start up a start up. and an unlikely recipe for success with an unusual idea for ice cream. >> everyone was like what's that? >> this is "on the money."
5:31 am
>> your life, your future. now becky quick. >> millions of people depend on their ira to fund their retirement. sharon epperson has more. >> former engineer ronald tusy is spending his retirement much like he imagined he would. what he didn't plan on was a prolonged legal battle with his former employer, abb, over his 401 k plan. >> it was very difficult to figure out exactly what it was costing you. >> he eventually filed a class action lawsuit, claiming the company failed to comply with federal law, causing plan participants to incur unnecessary and improper fees. >> we spent a year and nine months looking into industry practices and the abb plan and i came away convinced that people
5:32 am
were being ripped off for their retirement assets. >> a missouri federal court ruled in favor of tusy, but no one has received a penny. since the case is still on appeal, abb said it could not comment on an open case but did say benefit offerings are reviewed regularly. >> plan sponsor really need to be educated on, well, then who's getting paid? how are they getting paid? >> along with a rise in 401(k) lawsuits over the past several years, 401(k) fees have been declining. but ronald tusy says many companies still need to do more. >> it should be simple, it
5:33 am
should be straight forward what the cost is to have a particular fund. >> for "on the money," i'm sharon epperson. >> $4.7 trillion, that's how much americans are holding in their 401(k) plans. joining us to talk about the hidden 401(k) fees and what you can do to protect your nest egg, stacy francis. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> how can people take things into charge? >> get your plan benefit book. get that from your h.r. services and they'll give you the plan summary booklet. that will spell out all the different fees for the plan and also for the mutual funds within there and gives you a lot of information you need to know. >> probably the line that's most
5:34 am
important is expense ratio, right? normal fees should be something like what under that expense ratio? >> they should ideally be less than 1%. >> it doesn't sound like much, if i'm a consumer, it doesn't get me excited. what does that mean over time? >> if you have 25,000 in your 401(k) plan, it's growing at 7%. with that low fee, it going to grow to $226,000. that 1% difference, say you now are paying a 1.5% expense fee, that's only going to be $163,000. that's a 28% drop in your retirement savings for that difference of 1%. it makes a big difference. for most investors, a really nice index fund is all you need and it has a lot lower fees.
5:35 am
>> explain an induction fund? >> it's holding a box of bond that represent one part of the market. the most famous index is the s&p 500. it's a great way to get exposure to large, good quality stocks and giving you a good jump start on your retirement. >> if you're watching and see that the s&p 500 did this or did that, that's basically what your mutual fund is doing every day and it doesn't take anybody really managing because it's just tracking what the index already is doing. >> yes. you have a hard time going wrong with something like that. >> what happens if you look at your 401(k) plan and you realize you're paying too much? what are your options? >> you can look to see can you invest in maybe your spouse's 401(k). make sure you're maxing that out. after you max that out, you can look to open up an i.r.a.
5:36 am
if you're -- make sure you at least put enough money in there that you get the full match from your employer. >> because you're leaving money on the table. >> yes, you're giving away free money. >> if a company didn't do due diligence, maybe they didn't try to. >> truly understanding the plan administrative fees is difficult because often they're buried. and there's millions of dollars that are being made by companies, by being able to pass these fees without your average
5:37 am
plan participant knowing. there's a lot more work to be done. >> given, they'll hand you a prospectus that may be 40 to 60 pages long that says here's what's in your plan. look for the line that says expense ratio. that's all you need to know. >> that's right. >> another day, another new high for stocks. it sounds like a broken record but one that people like to hear. the dow had surprisingly high earnings report and better than expected economics news. the s&p 500 set its fourth record in a row. the nasdaq was up, though about 3% away from its high. stocks were mixed on friday. if you noticed gas prices dropping around you, you are not alone. gasoline is expected to average $2.25 a gallon through

with the olympics less than three weeks away, the threat of the zika virus has caused many athletes to withdraw from the games. it's just one of the topics we talked about with the cleveland clinic president and ceo. >> i think the cdc has done a wonderful job in identifying areas where zika is prevalent. they're currently following about 500 women who are pregnant and who have been exposed to zika. but right now there are very few areas in the united states where you really have a major threat from the zika virus. >> is that something that could change rapidly? the cdc has warned we could see transmission in the
5:42 am
transcontinental united states. >> yes, but we count on the cdc to follow it. >> what's reasonable to expect and what are the best case scenarios? >> are there a number of ways we can reduce the incidence of cancer. one to decrease the incidence of smoking, two the decrease obe obesity and increase detection. >> what will work to wiping cans are out? >> i think genomics plays a big part in it. >> do you think in five, ten, 20 years wipe out the incidents of cancer? i doubt it. it will become a more chronic disease. prostate cancer is one of those
5:43 am
and several others are headed in the same direction. as people age, the incidence of cancer goes up. you're not going to see it go completely away. >> we are now in year six in the obamacare act. the bad news is health care insurance costs are rising. and there's a big pullback. what's happening from the hospitals' perspective? >> say the cleveland clinic, 60% of our payment and revenue comes from medicare, medicaid and people who have no pay and don't pay at all. so 40% is coming from the private insurance. the private insurance is increasing at 1% a year and government pay is increasing at about 1% a year. now, in the past we have lost money on medicare, medicaid and we have made up the difference in private insurance. now, private insurance, as it becomes less common, is not making up that gap for us. so we have to reduce our costs
5:44 am
of providing care. >> one of the things the cleveland clinic can now do is offer consultations from a doctor from the cleveland clinic on an ipad. >> it's more efficient for care givers and it an opportunity to expand the care to remote areas. >> so you're monot just the ceo and president of the cleveland clinic, you're a doctor. would you do something like that online? >> absolutely. if i have an orthopedic problem or follow up from a situation or follow-up from surgery where someone needs to look at the incision and see if it's okay, absolutely. we're looking at access to health care anywhere, any time. >> it's always a pleasure to see

flavor into a full-fat ice cream. so that took us the better part of a year. we wanted to use a fresh-brewed tea to flavor it. it took a few months, about ten months to get the first version of it together in terms of what the ice cream base should be and how we should use the tea and brew it and so forth. >> when you first were able to get into stores, what was the biggest hurdle that you had to overcome? or how did you do it? >> first, i was using my skills, i guess, as a banker. just cold calling. just saying, hey, there's this new product. it's unique. there's nothing else out there on the market like it. very clean label. i hit all the trendy hot buttons that, you know, retailers are looking for. >> what advice would you give people who are thinking of quitting their jobs, chasing their dreams? >> i think the first thing is to make sure you're passionate about whatever you're going to do. because you're going to spend a lot of hours doing it. you're going to work at least as many hours or more on it. make sure you do market research. test your assumptions.
