Roll Over to Your

GuideStone

Retirement Plan

If your employer offers a GuideStone retirement plan, you may be eligible to roll over your previous retirement account(s) and take advantage of:

  • Continued tax-deferred growth on savings
  • Portfolio diversification through GuideStone investment options
  • Simplified asset management through consolidation to a single account
  • Extensive retirement and investment educational resources
  • Exclusion of eligible distributions from taxes for ministers under the minister’s housing allowance
Roll Over

to a

GuideStone IRA

If your employer does not offer a GuideStone retirement plan or if an IRA is a better fit for you, moving your previous retirement account(s) to a GuideStone IRA will provide you with:

  • Advantageous tax benefits
  • Traditional IRA contributions are generally tax-deductible.
  • Roth IRA withdrawals are tax-free at retirement on eligible contributions.
  • Portfolio diversification through GuideStone investment options
  • Simplified asset management through consolidation to GuideStone

 

Maintain the Retirement

Plan with Your

Former Employer

If you are able to leave your money in your former employer’s retirement plan, it may offer you a variety of benefits, including:

  • Investment options that may not be available through GuideStone
  • Option to roll over in the future following additional research

It is important to note that not all employers allow former employees to utilize their employer-sponsored retirement plans. Let us help you evaluate your options before making a decision.

What are key considerations before I move an account?

  • Will I have access to financial advice and education?
  • Will the provider offer enough investment options to appropriately diversify my portfolio?
  • Will the provider help simplify my asset management?
  • How much do my investments cost and what does my advisor earn?
  • What are my distribution options?

Be sure to consider all of your available options before rolling over your retirement assets. It is important to consider all of the potential advantages and disadvantages of rolling over your retirement assets to an IRA, including the different investment options that are available to you as well as the services, fees, expenses, withdrawal restrictions and tax consequences of rolling over your assets to an IRA. Other options are available besides rolling over your employer-sponsored retirement plan, including leaving the account with your previous employer. An employer-sponsored retirement plan may offer advantages investors can’t get if they roll the money into an IRA.
