401(k) - 1st Source Clone

We help you understand choices and next steps.

Common 401k options

Leave it in your plan

You may be able to keep your savings in your former employer’s plan. We can help you review the plan’s fees, investment choices, withdrawal rules, and account services.

Roll over to a new 401(k)

A new employer’s plan may accept a direct rollover. We can help you compare costs, investment options, and plan features before you move your savings.

Roll over to an IRA

A direct rollover to an IRA may offer more investment choices and greater flexibility. We can help you weigh fees, services, protections, and future withdrawal needs.

Take a lump-sum distribution

You may be able to take the full balance in cash. We can help you consider the tax impact, possible penalties, and effect on your long-term plan.

Take periodic payments

Some plans allow scheduled withdrawals over time. We can help you review payment choices, income needs, and how much of the account may remain invested.

Choose an annuity option

If the plan offers one, an annuity may provide regular payments for a set period or for life. We can help you compare payment terms, costs, guarantees, and access to your money.

Our process

When you leave an employer or retire, you may have several ways to handle your 401(k). We start by reviewing your 401(k), other retirement accounts, time horizon, and income goals. Then we help you compare your available options, understand the tradeoffs, and choose a path that fits your broader financial plan.
