Comprehensive Portfolio Management

In addition to our 401(k) expertise, we offer personalized portfolio management services.

401(k) and Rollover Analysis

If you’re transitioning between jobs, deciding what to do with your 401(k) is a critical decision. We help you evaluate your options—including rollovers—while clarifying tax implications and potential penalties so you can make informed choices.
The Benefits of 401(k) Evaluation: Considerations for Individuals
Maximize Contributions
Take full advantage of employer matching programs to boost your retirement savings without extra out-of-pocket costs.
Diversify Investments
Balance risk and reward by spreading your portfolio across stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and more.
Lower Fees
Choose plans or IRAs with transparent, competitive fees to help preserve more of your savings over time.
Holistic Strategy
Coordinate your 401(k) and other investment accounts for a unified
approach to wealth building.

When managing or rolling over a 401(k), consider:

Fees
Compare administrative costs between IRAs and workplace plans to determine the most cost-effective option.
Investment Choices
IRAs may offer greater flexibility, while employer plans might provide unique benefits. Businesses should prioritize a diverse range of investment options for employees.
Tax Implications
Understand the differences between traditional and Roth contributions and rollovers, and how each affects your future distributions.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Cashing Out Your 401(k)

Cashing out can trigger hefty penalties and taxes, quickly diminishing your savings. Explore rollover options to maintain your account’s tax-deferred status.

Missing Out on Employer Matches

Not contributing enough to receive your full employer match means leaving free money behind—an easily avoidable mistake that can impact your long-term savings.
