Should I Have An Annuity?

Indexed & Fixed-Rate

Annuities provide guaranteed income for retirement, with indexed annuities offering growth potential based on market performance and fixed-rate annuities providing stable returns.

What is a Rollover?

A rollover allows you to transfer funds from an existing 401(k), 403(b), or pension plan into a new IRA while avoiding tax penalties and early withdrawal fees.

✔️ 401(k) to IRA Rollovers – Gain greater control over your retirement funds with more investment options.
✔️ Direct Rollovers – Transfer funds seamlessly from one account to another without tax consequences.

Reasons to do a Rollover

Business Transition: If selling or closing a business, they may roll over a 401(k) into an IRA to retain tax advantages.

Better Investment Options: Moving from a high-fee 401(k) to a lower-fee IRA or a better-managed plan.

Avoiding Taxes & Penalties: A direct rollover prevents early withdrawal penalties and taxes.

Company Plan Changes: If switching retirement plan providers, funds may be rolled into the new plan.
