Manage the risk when saving for your retirement.
IRAs & Rollovers
IRAs
We provide a variety of choices for your IRA. Whether you are a conservative investor, or you want to take on a little more risk to possibly get a higher return, our financial advisors, registered through CUSO Financial Services, L.P.*, can help you assess the best investment for your situation.
We can also help you rollover an existing IRA**. This is a tax-free transfer of cash or other assets from one retirement program to another***. There are two kinds of rollover contributions to an IRA:
- In one, you transfer the proceeds of all or part of a distribution from one IRA to another. This can be done only once every twelve months.
- In the other, you may transfer an eligible rollover distribution from a qualified plan, a tax-sheltered annuity plan or a governmental 457 deferred compensation plan to a Traditional IRA.
401K/Pension Rollover
If you have a 401(k) or a 403(b) account with a previous employer, you may be incurring hidden administrative fees.
The best times to consider rolling over these employer-sponsored investments are:
- When you retire
- When you change jobs
- When you separate from an employer for any reason
Rolling over into a CFS* Investment and Retirement account at LGE may help you:
- Reduce administrative fees, which cut into your earnings
- Continue tax-deferred savings. If you cash out you may owe taxes on the entire amount and may be subject to an early withdrawal penalty
