Wachovia Job Change

If you receive a distribution from a 401(k) or other retirement plan due to a job change, you may find that managing this large sum of money can prove to be more of a challenge than originally anticipated. Before you decide to take the distribution in cash, consider this—you could lose up to 50% of your distribution to taxes and penalties. That’s why many investors choose to transfer their assets to a Rollover Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

A Wachovia Securities Financial Advisor can help you understand your investment choices, diversify to suit your goals, and rebalance your plan on a regular basis. With the help of a Wachovia Securities Financial Advisor, you also receive the guidance you need to stick to your plan and potentially achieve your long-term investing goals.

Rollover IRA

When you retire or change jobs, you can continue tax-deferred investing simply by transferring your retirement assets into a Rollover IRA.
