It is important to remember that a 401k is not an investment. It is an account that contains a particular investment.

So, the answer to this question depends on the investment within the 401k.

There are a couple of popular investment types that claim "insured" status.

First, stable value funds generally promote themselves as fund types that do not lose value. Money market funds, although not explicitly insured, generally are regarded as safe as cash.
