Rollover IRA / IRA Rollover
Rollover IRA and IRA Rollover are terms that can be used interchangeably. A Rollover IRA is a tax free transfer of funds from an ex-employer’s retirement plan such as a 401k, 403b, 457 or Thrift Savings Plan to an IRA. When you change jobs you are entitled to distribute or “rollover” your previous employer's retirement plan to a Rollover IRA.
By rolling over an ex-employer’s retirement plan into a Rollover IRA, you maintain the tax deferred status of your retirement account. Also, a Rollover IRA will allow you to consolidate all of your ex-employer’s retirement accounts into one IRA, making it easier to manage your retirement investments.
A significant advantage of a Rollover IRA versus leaving your retirement assets with an ex-employer is increased investment flexibility. A client with a BCM Rollover IRA can invest in stocks, bonds, institutional money managers and over 10,000 mutual funds.
