Rollover IRAs

Take control of your retirement strategy

Leaving retirement assets in a plan held by a previous employer when changing jobs or moving on to a new career opportunity may not be to your best advantage. When you leave your assets behind, you may not have the best opportunity to ensure the plan fits your retirement strategy.

Instead of leaving your retirement investments behind, why not roll those assets over into a Scottrade IRA? Rolling your existing plan over to a Scottrade IRA can help you to take control of your financial strategy and keep saving for retirement – with the added convenience of no fees and thousands of commission-free investments to choose from.

An IRA Rollover with the confidence of Scottrade

There are several ways to distribute the assets of your old 401(k) plan, including leaving them with your former employer, depositing them with your new employer or cashing out. These choices may not suit your needs as they could impact your ability to effectively manage your savings. Instead, consider rolling your previous IRA into a Scottrade IRA account.
