Rollover reviews

That old plan from a job you left is still charging you.

401(k), 403(b), 401(a), 457(b) — when you leave an employer, the account usually stays put on a menu nobody has revisited in years. A review tells you what it's holding, what it's costing, and what your choices are.

Your four options

A rollover is one of them. Not always the right one.

Leave it where it is

Often the right call — especially with a strong, low-cost plan, or a 457(b) you can access before 59½ without the 10% penalty. Rolling that out can cost you that access permanently.

Move it to your new employer's plan

Keeps everything in one place and preserves plan-level protections. Depends entirely on whether the new plan accepts transfers and what it charges.

Roll it to an IRA

Opens the full universe of options, including annuity contracts. You take on the responsibility of choosing, and you leave behind some plan-specific features.

Cash it out

Almost always the most expensive door. Ordinary income tax on the full amount, plus a 10% penalty before 59½ in most cases. We'll show you the math before you consider it.

Before you move anything

Questions we'll answer first.

What are you paying inside the current plan? What guarantees or protections would you be leaving behind? Are there surrender charges on the way out? Does your age or plan type give you access rights that a rollover would end? And does the destination actually beat the starting point once all of that is counted?

If the honest answer to that last question is no, we'll tell you to leave it alone. That happens more often than you'd think.

Bring us the statement. We'll do the reading.

A rollover review is complimentary, and nothing moves without your written authorization.
