New Job, New Beginnings. Don’t Leave Your 401(k) Behind—It’s Time for a Fresh Start.

New Job, New Beginnings. Don’t Leave Your 401(k) Behind—It’s Time for a Fresh Start.

Starting a new job is exciting, but what happens to the retirement savings you've already built up? Leaving your 401(k) behind with your previous employer may mean missed opportunities for growth, flexibility, and security. Now is the perfect time to take control of your retirement funds by rolling over your 401(k) to an IRA, and here’s why it's a smart move.

Why Rollover Your 401(k) to an IRA?

When you change jobs, your 401(k) account often doesn’t follow, and leaving it untouched can limit your investment options and growth potential. By rolling over your 401(k) to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you unlock a world of benefits:

More Investment Choices

More Investment Choices: Unlike traditional 401(k)s, IRAs offer a wider range of investment options, allowing you to better customize your retirement portfolio.

Potential for Tax-Deferred Growth

Potential for Tax-Deferred Growth: Keep your savings growing tax-free until retirement, and explore options that better suit your risk tolerance and long-term goals.

Increased Control & Flexibility

Increased Control & Flexibility: With an IRA, you’re in charge, enabling you to make investment decisions that align with your personal financial plan.

Key Benefits of Fixed Index Annuities in Your IRA

Principal Protection Principal Protection: The key feature of a Fixed Index Annuity is that it protects your initial investment (principal) from market downturns, meaning you cannot lose your original money invested, even if the stock market falls.

Market-Linked Growth Market-Linked Growth: While protecting your principal, FIAs still allow you to participate in a portion of the stock market's positive gains by linking their returns to a market index like the S&P 500, offering potential for growth.

Guaranteed Lifetime Income Options Guaranteed Lifetime Income Options: Choose annuity options that can provide guaranteed income throughout your retirement, ensuring you never outlive your savings.

Predictable Returns Predictable Returns: Although not guaranteed, FIAs provide a degree of predictability in returns as they are tied to the performance of a specific market index, offering some stability compared to directly investing in stocks.

Tax-Deferred Growth Potential Tax-Deferred Growth Potential: Like other retirement investments, FIAs grow tax-deferred, helping you keep more of your hard-earned money.
