What Is a Retirement Rollover?
Moving eligible assets from one qualified account to another.
A retirement rollover is the process of moving eligible retirement assets from one qualified retirement account to another. This commonly occurs when changing employers or retiring.
Depending on your situation, you may have several options for your retirement savings. These can include leaving assets in a former employer's plan (if permitted), transferring funds to a new employer's retirement plan, rolling assets into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), or taking a distribution when appropriate. Each option carries different considerations related to taxes, investment choices, fees, and future retirement planning.
Understanding these choices before making a decision is an important part of protecting your long-term financial goals.

When Should You Consider a Rollover?
Several life events may create the opportunity to evaluate your accounts.
Even if you have multiple retirement accounts from previous employers, consolidating eligible accounts may simplify your financial management and help you maintain a clearer picture of your retirement savings.
Personalized Guidance for Every Decision
Every financial situation is unique.
That's why Heidi begins every client relationship with a conversation rather than a recommendation. During the planning process, we'll discuss:
Your retirement goals
Current retirement accounts
Income needs
Investment objectives
Risk tolerance
Tax considerations
Long-term financial priorities
