The article from Fortune, published on March 11, 2025, discusses a common mistake that 401(k) participants make which could cost them thousands of dollars annually: leaving their funds in a former employer's plan instead of rolling them over into an IRA or a new employer's plan. The piece explains that by not rolling over, individuals miss out on potentially lower fees and a broader range of investment options that could enhance their retirement savings. It provides a step-by-step guide on how to roll over a 401(k), emphasizing the importance of understanding the fees associated with the current plan, choosing the right type of rollover (direct or indirect), and selecting a new investment vehicle that aligns with one's retirement goals. The article also highlights the tax implications of rollovers and advises consulting with a financial advisor to ensure the move maximizes retirement savings.
