How do I protect my 401K from the market crash?

Diversify Your Portfolio\n\n Having a diversified 401(k) of mutual funds that invest in stocks, bonds and even cash can help protect your retirement savings in the event of an economic downturn.

Where should I roll my 401K into?

Should I move my 401K to a safe fund?

The decision of whether or not to move your 401(k) to bonds before a crash is a personal one. You should consider your age, investment goals, and risk tolerance. If you are close to retirement, you may want to move some of your 401(k) to bonds. If you are younger, you may want to keep all of your 401(k) in stocks.
