Service Financial Group Has Arrived, and Here’s How They Can Help You With a Rollover IRA
You have worked diligently to save money in your 401(k) or other retirement accounts, but what happens to your balance if and when you change jobs? If you cash out, you’ll typically pay the income taxes due on the withdrawn cash, as well as a 10% penalty tax unless you are 59.5 or you are retiring from your employer at 55 or older.
Depending on your financial situation, rolling this money into an IRA* – Individual Retirement Account – might be a viable option. Here’s why:
- Enhanced Communication: Your now-former employer might have the inside track to communicating with your advisor, which is a convenience that you might relinquish when you leave. When you roll over to a new broker, such as Service Financial Group, you are able to cut out any go-betweens and regain truly personalized services. An advisor will be able to organize and manage your assets based on your plan.
- More Investment Choices: Your 401(k) is generally limited in terms of investment choices, likely a choice of a few mutual funds offered within your employer’s plan. However, with an Individual Retirement Account, you have the freedom to invest in mutual funds, annuities, individual stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
- Flexibility: If you are over 59 ½ years old, you may be eligible for an “In-service Transfer” from your current retirement plan. This allows you to take out a portion of your account balance for investment in an IRA while leaving your current employer’s account open during your employment with them.
IRA rollovers also open up the possibility of a Roth account, where you pay taxes on the funds you contribute when you contribute them, with no tax due at the time you withdraw them** – this is the opposite of a traditional IRA.
