401(k) Rollovers

Learn the products & situations for which a rollover might be right for you.

What are the situations for a 401(k) Rollover?

Are you close to retirement?

If you are close to retirement, it may be wise to secure at least a portion of your money into a account that acts as a volatility buffer. In other words, ensure that a market downturn does not ruin your retirement plans and that you can retire on time.

Changed jobs recently?

If you have changed jobs recently, consider rolling your old retirement account into an account that you have complete control over and that has downside protection. We can also help you consolidate multiple retirement accounts into one account.

Are you tired of losing money?

Do you seem to always have bad luck in the market? Instead of leaving your hard-earned money to risk, it may be wise to move your money into an account that has downside protection. In other words, in these accounts, you cannot lose even if the market loses.

FIAs that we recommend come with the following features:

Loss Protection

FIAs have downside protection, which means your money is protected from market downturns. In other words, you cannot lose even if the market loses.

Marketlike Gains

FIAs participate in market gains. So, if the market increases, so does you account. FIAs allow you to eliminate market risk while still participating in the gains of the market.

Income for Life

FIAs can also guarantee lifetime income in retirement. This ensures that you'll always receive an income from this annuity, even if you live to 120 years old!

Weathering the Storm: How IUL Provides Stability and Growth Amidst Market Volatility

July 08, 20235 min read

The Lost Decade for Investors

Do you remember 2008? For many, especially those who were ready to retire, that year is a painful memory. The global markets were in freefall, and investors watched in horror as their hard-earned savings evaporated before their eyes. For those who had diligently accumulated a nest egg of $1,000,000, the shock was particularly devastating. In a matter of months, that substantial sum had been slashed to a mere $600,000 when the market hit rock bottom.

What were once dreams of an early retirement, of traveling the world or spending cherished time with loved ones, quickly transformed into a desperate struggle to recover lost ground. Men and women, on the precipice of their golden years, were forced to put their plans on hold as they watched their retirement accounts stagnate. It wasn't until 2012—four long, grueling years later—that these individuals finally saw their portfolios climb back to their pre-recession levels.

The 2008 recession became an indelible scar on the financial landscape, etching a cautionary tale in the minds of investors everywhere. The volatility of the market had wreaked havoc on their dreams, leaving them to wonder if there was a way to protect themselves from such catastrophic losses in the future.

It turns out that there is.

Enter Indexed Universal Life (IUL), an extraordinary financial instrument that offers a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos.

The 2008 Great Recession saw market crash.

What is IUL?

Imagine a financial tool that offers you the best of both worlds: the protection of a life insurance contract and the potential for substantial growth in your wealth. Enter Indexed Universal Life (IUL), a game-changing financial instrument that has revolutionized the way people approach their financial futures.

At its core, IUL is a life insurance policy that not only provides a death benefit for your loved ones but also offers a host of living benefits that can transform your financial landscape. But what sets IUL apart from traditional life insurance policies is its extraordinary ability to leverage the power of the IRS tax codes—specifically, codes 72t, 7702, and 101a—to create a tax-free environment for your money to grow.

Yes, you read that right—tax-free growth! Placing your hard-earned dollars inside an IUL allows them to flourish without the burden of immediate tax liabilities. Your money has the potential to accumulate and compound, untouched by the prying hands of the taxman. And when the time comes to access your funds, you can do so without triggering a tax avalanche, providing a significant advantage over conventional investment options.

But the benefits of IUL don't stop there. This remarkable financial tool offers a unique combination of downside protection and participation in market gains, akin to having your cake and eating it too. How does it work? By linking the performance of your IUL policy to a designated index, such as the renowned S&P 500. While conventional market investments are at the mercy of unpredictable market swings, IUL safeguards your account with a floor rate, shielding you from negative market performance.

And when the market roars with gains, guess what? You get to ride that wave too! IUL allows you to participate in the growth, enabling you to capitalize on the upside potential of the market. It's like having a secret weapon against market volatility—a financial superpower that keeps you afloat during turbulent times while unleashing your potential to soar when the market shines.

Let's rewind the clock and step back to the tumultuous era of the Lost Decade for Investors, spanning from 2000 to 2012. Traditional investors struggled to break even, their dreams of financial freedom shackled by lackluster returns. But those who had the foresight to allocate their money in an IUL experienced an average annual gain of approximately 9%! While others were left treading water, IUL holders navigated the stormy seas of uncertainty, capturing the rewards of market growth and emerging stronger on the other side.

But there's more to this financial wizardry. When you access your money from an IUL, the magic doesn't end there. Unlike conventional loans or withdrawals that often hinder the growth potential of your investments, an IUL policy ensures that the remaining cash value continues to draw interest uninterrupted. It's like having your own personal wealth generator that keeps churning out earnings while you enjoy the fruits of your labor.

In summary, Indexed Universal Life (IUL) is not your ordinary financial instrument—it's a game-changer, a beacon of financial empowerment. With the potential for tax-free growth, the safety net of downside protection, and the ability to ride the waves of market gains, IUL offers a tantalizing opportunity to shape your financial destiny. So, why settle for ordinary when extraordinary awaits? Unleash the power of IUL and embark on a journey towards financial prosperity and peace of mind.
