401(k) Rollover

Once you leave your company, you must decide what to do with your 401(k) plan assets.

Knowing your distribution options and how they will affect your retirement savings is very important to your overall retirement plan. Consolidating your retirement savings into a Rollover IRA may be a good choice for you if you’ve recently changed jobs or retired.

With over 17 years of retirement planning experience and helping professionals transition from one job to another, president and founder of The Hajdari Group, Zaim Hajdari, a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor, CRPC® and other financial advisors atThe Hajdari Group make rolling over your old retirement savings plan from a former employer easy.

Potential Benefits of Rolling Over your 401(k) to an IRA

Freedom from restrictions that may be present in your workplace savings plan
Consolidation=A more complete view of your financial picture, making it easier to maintain appropriate asset allocation.
More Investment Options in an IRA. Your 401k plan has limited investment choices. With an IRA, you’ll have access to a wide array of low-cost savings and investment options such as mutual funds, stocks, bonds, CDs, annuities and other investments in virtually every asset class.
Access to Lower fee investment options. Reducing your investment costs is one of the most reliable ways to improve your investment returns. In addition to limiting your investment choices, many 401k plans include an administrative fee. It’s likely that you can reduce your total investment costs by approximately 1% per year simply by moving your money from a 401(k) to an IRA. That might not sound like much, but when compounded over many years, improving your investment return by 1% can have a dramatic impact on how long your money lasts in retirement. Try thinking of it this way: If you plan to use a 5% withdrawal rate from your portfolio, paying investment costs of 1% per year would mean that you can only actually spend 4% of your portfolio value–that’s a 20% reduction in your ability to spend!
The ability to potentially avoid a 10% IRS early withdrawal penalty for a first time home buyers or qualified education expenses
