The financial professionals at MEMBERS Financial can help you determine investment and retirement strategies, including:


401(k) PENSION ROLLOVER SERVICES

A rollover occurs when moving funds from a former employer's plan. A financial professional can help guide and facilitate the transfer of holdings from one retirement plan to another and discuss the pros and cons of the options available.** A plan participant leaving an employer typically has four options (and may engage in a combination of these options), each choice offering advantages and disadvantages. Options include:

  • Leave the money in his/her former employer’s plan, if permitted;
  • Roll over the assets to his/her new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted;
  • Roll over to an IRA; or
  • Cash out the account value.

IRA INVESTMENTS

There are several types of IRAs: Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and SEP IRAs. They can include a range of financial products such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds. A financial professional can help you determine which type of IRA is right for you, and can help open and manage IRA accounts.


STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS

A financial professional can help you understand the nuances and benefits of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, and can help you build a diverse investment portfolio that addresses your needs.


ANNUITIES

An annuity can provide tax-deferred growth, then pay out a stream of payments at a later point in time. A financial professional can assist you in creating and maintaining annuities while going over a range of benefits to transfer risk, including living and death benefits.***


LONG-TERM CARE & LIFE INSURANCE

Financial professionals can help you acquire coverage for nursing home care, home health care, or personal or adult day care. Long-term care insurance offers more flexibility and options than many public assistance programs.
