7 Mile marker conversations prior to age 50 Slide 7 of 36

9 Mile marker conversations in your 50s Slide 9 of 36

10 Age 50 Consider maxing out contributions Consider taking advantage of catch-up contributions Review healthcare and long-term care costs Conduct beneficiary audit Slide 10 of 36

11 Review healthcare and long-term care costs Healthcare can take a healthy bite out of retirement savings. It is estimated that an average, healthy 65-year-old couple will need $220,000 to pay for medical expenses for the remainder of their lives Source: Fidelity Investments retiree health costs estimate, Healthcare and nursing home costs may vary by state. 40% of those in retirement spend more on healthcare than expected* 70% of those turning 65 will need some type of long-term care services during their lifetime** *Source: Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI), 2011 Retirement Confidence Survey ** Source: National Clearinghouse for Long Term Care Information, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, January 2012 Slide 11 of 36

12 Beneficiary reviews Retirement assets account for 42% of the wealth for Americans with at least $100,000 of investable assets* Understand that wills only cover probate assets Review beneficiary designations after life changing events Consider the dangers of naming trusts as beneficiary of retirement accounts *Wells Fargo Retirement, December 2011 Slide 12 of 36

13 Age 55 Penalty-free withdrawals from retirement plans Does not apply to IRAs Early retirement and Social Security Benefits based on best 35 years of earnings Early pension elections and Social Security integration Slide 13 of 36

14 Age 59½ Penalty-free withdrawals In-service withdrawals Age 59½ Prior rollover assets After-tax contributions Employer contributions Five years of service Summary Plan Description (SPD) Please consult your tax advisor before taking an in-service withdrawal. Slide 14 of 36

15 Consider reasons to roll to an IRA No plan-imposed restrictions Estate planning No mandatory 20% withholding on withdrawals Control and greater investment selection Access to products providing guaranteed retirement income All guarantees, including optional benefits, are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing company and do not apply to the underlying investment options. Slide 15 of 36

16 Consider reasons to not roll to an IRA Early access to retirement assets Retired at or after age 55 Delayed Required Minimum Distributions(RMDs) Age 70½ and still working Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) tax treatment The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) credit protection Slide 16 of 36

17 Roth conversions Tax diversification in retirement Hedge against increasing tax rates No Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) Estate planning benefits Conversions to a Roth IRA are generally fully taxable. Before you convert to a Roth IRA, consider how your tax bracket will affect the overall benefit of the rollover. Conversion income may push you into a higher tax bracket. It is, however, possible to convert only part of their traditional IRA. This could enable you to remain in the same tax bracket you would be in without the conversion. It is generally advisable to pay the taxes on the conversion with funds other than those in your traditional IRA. If you are under age 59½ when you do a conversion, any funds not deposited in the Roth IRA will be subject to the 10% federal income tax penalty (unless an exception applies). Slide 17 of 36

35 Disclosures In-service withdrawals can be very appropriate for many individuals. There are, however, some factors to consider: Exceptions to the 10% federal income tax penalty - The penalty exceptions for employer plan and IRA distributions are not identical. Two exceptions apply to an employer plan, but do not apply to an IRA: separation from service at or after age 55, and Qualified Domestic Relations Orders. On the other hand, IRAs provide penalty exceptions for first-time home purchase and higher education, but employer plans do not. Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) tax treatment - Favorable NUA tax treatment is not available to IRAs. Therefore, if you have highly appreciated company stock in your employer-sponsored plan, rolling that stock to an IRA eliminates the ability to take advantage of NUA tax treatment. Creditor protection While IRAs now have federal bankruptcy protection, they are not protected from other judgments the way that federal law (specifically ERISA) protects qualified plans. New contributions to the employer plan - Taking an in-service distribution may affect your ability to make future contributions to the employer plan Loans - In the event that a 401(k) is terminated, the loan may be subject to income taxes and a federal income tax penalty. Fees - It is important to check with your employer to see if they offer in-service withdrawals. Sources of information include your Plan Administrator, Summary Plan Description, or Participant Statement. Please consult these sources for any possible restrictions, fees and expenses. Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) - RMDs are required to begin from IRAs when an individual reaches age 70½. The first distribution can be deferred to April 1 of the year following the year the individual reaches age 70 ½. For subsequent years, distributions must be taken by December 31st. If you defer the first payment to the year following the year you reach age 70½, you will be required to take two distributions within the same year. For a participant in an employer plan, other than a 5% or greater owner, RMDs must begin at the later of age 70½ or when you retire from that employer. Slide 35 of 36
