How do I choose a new 401(k) to rollover?

I'm soon to be switching employers and I know to rollover my 401(k), but if I don't want to use my new company's plans, can I just pick an investment firm to handle it? Do employers still typically contribute to these outside plans?

    The answer to all of your questions is "Talk to your HR department." There are any number of different ways of handling a 401(k), and only your employer is going to be able to tell you what your options are. There are number of reputable investment firms that would love to help you, for a fee, but even they can't do anything until they know exactly the terms dictated by your employer.
