Disclosures & Privacy Policy

About our firm

PortfolioLab LLC is an investment adviser registered with the State of Florida, Office of Financial Regulation. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.

PortfolioLab LLC transacts business only in states where it is properly registered or is excluded or exempted from registration requirements. This website and tool are for informational purposes and do not constitute an offer of advisory services in any jurisdiction where PortfolioLab LLC is not authorized to conduct business.

Our firm's CRD number is 339763. You can verify our registration and view our filings on the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at adviserinfo.sec.gov.

A copy of our current written disclosure brochure (Form ADV Part 2A) discussing our advisory services, fees, and conflicts of interest is available upon request at ajb@portfoliolabco.com.

This tool is educational — not investment advice

The 401(k) Fee Analyzer provides an educational estimate of the fees in your retirement plan based on documents you provide. It does not provide individualized investment advice, and it does not consider your complete financial situation, objectives, or risk tolerance. Nothing on this website is an offer to buy or sell any security, or a recommendation to change your investments, your retirement plan, or your plan contributions.

Using this tool, receiving a report, or communicating with us about your report does not make you an advisory client of PortfolioLab LLC and does not create an investment advisory relationship. An advisory relationship is established only through a written advisory agreement.

Our advisory fees

The fees analyzed in your report are the fees charged inside your employer’s 401(k) plan. They are separate from, and unrelated to, any advisory fee PortfolioLab LLC would charge if you later chose to become a client.

If you do engage us, our advisory fee depends on how your portfolio is built. For portfolios implemented primarily with exchange-traded funds (ETFs), we charge a reduced advisory fee. Portfolios calling for a more customized strategy — individual securities, options strategies, structured notes, or other tailored implementations — take more time and oversight to manage, and their fee is negotiated with you individually before any agreement is signed.

Our fees are negotiable and are therefore not uniform across clients; a client with a customized strategy may pay more than a client with an ETF-based portfolio for accounts of similar size. Any fee that applies to you is set out in a written advisory agreement that you sign before we manage any assets, and our current fee schedule and the conflicts of interest associated with it are described in our Form ADV Part 2A, available on request at ajb@portfoliolabco.com.

How the analysis works — methodology and limitations

• Automated document reading. Your report is generated by software, including an artificial-intelligence service that reads the documents you upload. Automated extraction can contain errors or omissions. Always verify the figures in your report against your plan's official documents before making any decision.
• Estimates, not statements of your account. Fee percentages and dollar figures are estimates derived from the documents you provide, including the account balance shown on the statement you upload.
• Benchmarks are approximations. Industry-average comparisons are based on published industry survey data for plans of similar size and are approximate.
• Projections are hypothetical. Long-term projections assume a constant hypothetical 7% annual return before fees, with no contributions or withdrawals, for illustration only. Where a report shows what a lower fee could be worth, it applies an arbitrary percentage reduction to that person’s own current fee purely to illustrate how fees compound — it is not an offer, a quote, or a representation that any particular fee level is available. Projections are not a prediction or guarantee of future results. Actual returns will vary and may be negative; fees are only one factor affecting investment outcomes. All investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Privacy policy

What we collect. When you use the analyzer we collect the information you enter (your name and email address) and the plan documents you upload, which may contain personal financial information such as your account balance and investment holdings.

How we use it. We use this information to verify your email address, generate your fee report, and contact you about your report and our services. We do not sell your personal information.

Service providers. To operate this tool, your information is processed by the service providers that run it: our web hosting provider, our email delivery provider, Anthropic, whose Claude AI service reads your uploaded documents to extract fee information, and Google, which provides our website analytics. These providers process your information to provide their services to us.

Analytics and cookies. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site — which pages are viewed, how people arrive, and how far they get through the analysis. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects technical information such as your device type, browser, approximate location, and the pages you visit. We do not send your name, email address, uploaded documents, or any figures from your report to Google, and the web address of an individual report is redacted before it is recorded, so a report cannot be identified or opened through our analytics. Analytics is not loaded on our administrative pages. You can opt out of Google Analytics on any site using Google’s browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Retention. We retain the documents you upload, the extracted fee information, your report, and your contact details so that our adviser can review your analysis against the original documents and follow up with you. If you do not complete email verification, your uploaded documents are deleted within 24 hours. To request deletion of your information at any time, email ajb@portfoliolabco.com.

Security. Information is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. The documents you upload, your report, and your contact details are stored encrypted at rest. The documents you upload are individually encrypted by our application using AES-256 encryption before they are written to storage, so they cannot be read from the stored files alone; the underlying storage and its automated backups are separately encrypted at rest with AES-256 by our hosting provider. Access to your uploaded documents is restricted to our adviser through an access-controlled administrative page. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
