401(K) Rollover Options
Old 401(k)? Changing jobs? New Employee Plan?
We can help.
A plan participant leaving an employer typically has four options (and may engage in a combination of these options), each choice offering advantages and disadvantages. For balance, please update your material to include each option below:
• Leave the money in his/her former employer’s plan, if permitted;
• Roll over the assets to his/her new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted;
• Roll over to an IRA; or
• Cash out the account value.
Our team of experienced financial advisors can help you evaluate your options for the life you're building - today, tomorrow, and beyond.

Pros and Cons of Rolling Over Your 401(k)
Pros:
More Investment Choices: Unlike a company plan, an IRA can offer a broader range of investment options.
Potentially Lower Fees: You may be able to find lower fees in an IRA, which can help you keep more of your money working for you.
Consolidation of Accounts: Rolling over multiple accounts into one can simplify your financial management.
Tailored Advice: A financial advisor can provide personalized strategies to help grow your retirement savings.
Cons:
Loss of Company Benefits: Your current 401(k) may have unique benefits, such as company stock or loan options, that could be lost in a rollover.
Tax Implications: If not done correctly, rollovers can have tax consequences. It’s essential to understand the rules before making a change.
New Fees: Some IRAs can come with their own fees, so it's essential to compare costs.
Withdrawal Restrictions: An IRA may have different withdrawal rules compared to your 401(k).
