Time to Consolidate Your 401(k) Plans
If you've changed jobs over the past 25 years, you might have several 401(k) plans scattered across various employers. Since 401(k) plans were introduced, they have become a popular way to save for retirement, with many employers offering them to their workforce.
However, managing multiple 401(k) accounts can be challenging. Each time you signed up for a 401(k), you likely diversified your investments based on the options provided by that employer. This diversification is smart, usually involving a mix of high, moderate, and low-risk investments. Yet, your attitude towards risk may have evolved over the years. What seemed an acceptable risk 20 years ago might not be the same today.
Having multiple plans across different employers might give the illusion of diversification, but that’s not necessarily the case. A moderate-risk fund at one company could be considered low-risk at another. Investments in tech stocks 15 years ago, considered high-risk, may now represent a more stable option.
The best strategy for effectively managing these accounts is to consolidate them into a single 401(k) plan. This approach allows for a clearer view of your overall risk and enables you to adjust your portfolio according to your current financial goals. An important point to remember is not to cash out your 401(k) accounts, as this triggers a taxable event. Instead, transfer them into an existing or new 401(k).
Consolidating your 401(k) plans offers a streamlined way to manage your investments. With everything under one umbrella, you can easily assess and modify your strategies to align with your retirement goals.
