Symetra Financial and Mesirow Financial, Bellevue, Wash., has announced an agreement to offer small businesses more choice and flexibility for employer-sponsored 401(k) plans. The partnership will greatly expand the number of mutual funds available in Symetra's 401(k) platform, giving small businesses cost effective access to the type of plans typically available only to Fortune-500 sized companies.
