Do you own two or more IRA Accounts? Do you have a 401(k) or similar qualified retirement plan with a former employer? Well, you are not alone. With more and more Americans changing jobs and leaving their retirement investments behind in their former employer’s plan, it can be very frustrating to manage many different accounts. Over time, you may even lose track of some of your older accounts. By consolidating your retirement accounts into one single, CNB Rollover IRA, your money has the potential to work harder for you and keeping track of your investments can be easier and more convenient as your assets continue to grow tax-deferred.
Below are several benefits of consolidating your Retirement Accounts into a single CNB Rollover IRA:
Maintaining retirement accounts with different financial institutions can make it very difficult to maintain a consistent, comprehensive investment strategy. Consolidating your assets into one CNB Rollover IRA will help you maintain a single investment strategy that is in-line with your investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.
401(k) or other employer-sponsored qualified plans have limited investment choices. By consolidating into a CNB Rollover IRA you will have access to a full range of investment vehicles at your disposal to create a well diversified asset allocation that best meets your personal risk tolerance and financial goals.
401(k) or other employer-sponsored qualified plans may impose limits on account transactions and even when you are able to access your funds. When you consolidate into a CNB Rollover IRA, many of those restrictions and limitations can be avoided. You are now in control of when you can access your funds. Also, with the exception of states with community property laws that govern the property rights of married individuals, IRA account owners have sole control over who they name in their beneficiary designations; not the case with beneficiary designations in 401(k) or other employer-sponsored qualified plans.
By consolidating your assets into one CNB Rollover IRA, you will receive a single account statement instead of several statements from various financial institutions, making it much easier to keep track and monitor your progress and investment results.
As you approach retirement, having your assets in a single CNB Rollover IRA will enable you to establish an all-inclusive withdrawal strategy.
When you reach age 70½, you will be required to start withdrawing a RMD each year from your Traditional IRAs and employer-sponsored qualified plans. That calculation can be confusing when you have multiple accounts at different financial institutions. By consolidating all your accounts into one CNB Rollover IRA, the calculations are considerably easier and withdrawals are simpler.
Regardless of how many different types of retirement accounts you have, the following accounts may be eligible for consolidation into a CNB Rollover IRA:
- IRAs held at financial institutions (Banks, Credit Unions, Mutual Fund Companies, etc.)
- Assets of former employer-sponsored retirement plans including:
- 401(k) plans
- 403(b) plans
- Governmental 457(b) plans
- Defined benefit plans
- Profit-sharing plans
- ESOP plans
- Money purchase plans
- Keogh plans
