Top 3 Things to Think About…401(k) and 403(b) Qualified Plans:


In your early years, invest as much of your money as possible. Ideally, you would invest at least enough to receive the company match. The younger you start, the more aggressive you should be regarding your investments.

    • Your investment in these plans will benefit from the power of compounding interest. The impact of this compound interest can set you on a great savings path. View this PDF to see an example of how compound interest can work for you.

 

Diversify the types of accounts that you allocate your funds to. Our certified financial planners can help you better understand your allocation and help you set targets for them. As the market changes, you want to rebalance your opportunities for investment.
