The ticker you have for the American Century fund is the correct ticker for the fund but not the class you have. I couldn't find that ticker either. The one you have is for the Institutional class whereas the shares you'll have are an Advisor class. The only difference I could see is that the expense ratio is .25% higher on the Advisor shares. You should be ok to at least track it with the ticker you have.

And like Steve said, the 2% redemption fee is normal for some funds such as int'l or small-cap where they try to discourage people from trying to time the market.
Are you sure that is not the correct ticker for the American Century fund? Google finance is showing it as correct? http://finance.google.com/finance?q=TWGAX
I thought ADV stood for advisor?

As for the other two that i could not find, Russell 2000, and midcap 400, how are you supposed to track something you cannot find ? You would think they would have the tickers on our company 401k info sheets, but they do not.
