Getting Ready for IRA Rollover

A recent job change. Retirement. A 401K with a former employer. If one of these describes you, it may be time to get ready for a rollover. Employers require retirement plans to be transferred to another similar plan when there’s a separation of employment. 

What is a Rollover?
A rollover is a method of moving money, without incurring taxes or penalties, from one IRA to another IRA or between an eligible retirement plan and an IRA. Eligible retirement plans include qualified retirement plans such as, but not limited to:
       •  401(k) plans
       •  403(a) qualified annuity plans
       •  403(b) tax sheltered annuity plans and government plans
       •  457(b) deferred compensation plans

One of our experienced financial consultants will be glad to explain how the rollover process works, assist you with the paperwork, and answer any questions. Schedule a no-cost, no-obligation consultation with a financial consultant to get started.

Investment Choices for Your Rollover IRA
Once you’ve rolled over your retirement distribution to an IRA, a financial consultant can help you design an investment strategy that’s tailored specifically to your needs and financial goals.

Call the Retirement & Investment Services Department at (888) 354-6228 ext. 7599 to schedule your no-cost, no-obligation appointment.
