Is a Rollover IRA Right For You
Rollover IRAs allow you to roll over employer-sponsored retirement plan assets rather than taking a lump sum distribution.  Earnings are able to grow tax-deferred, and distributions are typically taxable in the year distributed.  A Rollover IRA also gives you the option of rolling assets back into an employer-sponsored retirement plan at a later date.  To help you make a better informed decision on whether or not a Rollover IRA is suitable for you, review the key features table below.

Should you convert your Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA?
Converting a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA may make sense, but it's not for everyone. The many rules and regulations governing both types of investments can make this decision a complex one. Please consult your tax advisor to discuss your specific needs.
