Seamless IRA Rollovers, Transparent Investing.
Why Consider
an IRA Rollover?
Broader Investment Options: Unlike 401(k) plans, which typically have a limited investment selection, an IRA Rollover offers access to a wider range of investment options, including individual stocks, bonds, and ETFs, allowing for a tailored investment strategy.
Consolidated Accounts: Rolling over former employers’ 401(k)s into a single IRA can simplify your financial landscape, making it easier to manage and track your retirement assets.
Potential Fee Reduction: Many 401(k) plans come with administrative and fund-specific fees. Fees on Fees! An IRA Rollover with Whitney & Company can often reduce these fees, as highlighted by a study showing that the average expense ratio for an IRA is often lower than a 401(k)’s average total plan cost.

Steps to a
Successful IRA Rollover
Evaluate Your Current 401(k)
Choose the Right IRA Provider
Understand Tax Implications
Typically, traditional 401(k) funds rolled over to a traditional IRA maintain their tax-deferred status. However, rolling over to a Roth IRA could have tax implications.We will help navigate this and come up with the most tax efficient strategy to maximize your retirement.
Decide Between Direct & Indirect Rollover
A direct rollover transfers funds directly from your 401(k) to your IRA, avoiding taxes and penalties. An indirect rollover involves receiving a check and depositing the funds into your new IRA within 60 days.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ignoring Rollover Timelines: Failing to deposit funds from an indirect rollover within 60 days can lead to taxes and penalties.
Overlooking Employer Stock: Special tax rules apply to company stock in a 401(k), which may be more beneficial tax-wise to not roll over.
Forgetting Old 401(k)s: Don’t leave accounts unattended when changing jobs. A rollover can consolidate and potentially reduce fees and simplify management.
