Should You Rollover Your 401k Into an IRA? (www ...

?

www.goodfinancialcents.com Today I will answer a common question I get from a lot of people. Do you have a situation, you are working somewhere, you change jobs, either decided to go somewhere else, you were laid off or you were fired. Whatever the reason, if you?ve been there for awhile you most likely participated in the 401(k) plan. Now that you have left that job and you have started your new job, you have to make a very, very important decision on what to do with that 401(k). The common question I get is this: Jeff, I?ve got my 401(k). Does it make sense to roll over into an IRA. Depending on your situation, most likely I will say yes, but there are some instances where it could make sense to roll it into your existing 401(k), which I will address in another video. Today I want to make the case why you should at least consider rolling over the 401(k) into an IRA. First and foremost, you want more investment choices. Most commonly what I see in most 401(k) plans you are going to have approximately 12-15 investment choices to choose from. I have seen some bigger plans that are going to have 40, 50 or maybe even 60 investment choices, but generally that is what I see. If you take that money and roll it over into an IRA, instead of just having those 12-15 investment choices, now your just opened up to the world of all the different investment options that you have. If you want to invest into individual stock, you can do so in the IRA. Most likely, you weren?t allowed to ?
