Be Informed Consolidating Your Retirement Accounts Looking for an easier way to manage your retirement savings? One account can make it easy! Why consolidate? When you consolidate multiple retirement accounts, you could save time, potentially reduce your costs, and improve how you manage your investing strategy. With a single account, it will be easier for you to take a cohesive approach to retirement planning, monitor how your investments are performing, and take any corrective measures to keep your strategy on track. It could also preserve access to your contributions through a loan from your 403(b) or 401(k) plan account. Note that plan loans are not permitted from 401(a) plan accounts. Let’s say your company is bought by another firm and your retirement accounts must be moved; or your employer moved the plan to a new service provider but your accounts stayed with the original service provider. Perhaps you’ve changed jobs but left your 401(k) or 403(b) account behind. You could easily end up with multiple accounts at different providers. Save time and paperwork All those statements and paperwork! How do you keep track of it all? Consolidating your accounts into a single account could substantially reduce your paperwork. And think about the time you could save with just one point of contact—one website and one phone number! Control fees and expenses You may be paying more than you have to if you’re maintaining multiple accounts. You should carefully review the fees and expenses you pay to see if consolidating your accounts could help reduce your costs. By reducing your costs, you’ll have more of your money working for you to build your nest egg faster. Manage your investing strategy With a consolidated account, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your total retirement portfolio and how your assets are allocated. You’ll know how your investments are performing without having to do elaborate calculations. This may make it easier to take action to improve your investing strategy. Create a withdrawal strategy for retirement Once you consolidate your retirement accounts, it will be much easier to arrange to receive retirement income from your account. You’ll appreciate the time savings. Simplify your estate planning Looking a little further down the road, picture how much easier it will be for you to arrange which assets go to each beneficiary, and how much simpler it will be for your heirs to manage the financial details of your estate, if your retirement assets are all together in one account.
