In this episode of The Market Moment, Matt, Lee, and John dive deep into the pros and cons of 401(k) rollovers.

Plus, the team answers a recent viewer question about international stock allocation! Key Takeaways From This Episode: ➡️ 401(k) vs. IRA Fees: Learn how to identify the "soft" internal fees inside a 401(k) and how they compare to self-managed or advisory IRA options. ➡️ Investment Control: Self-directed IRAs have a lot of options, thousands of individual stocks, funds, and options compared to a limited 401(k) menu. ➡️ Advanced Retirement Rules: Understand how Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) can save you significant money on highly appreciated company stock , and how the Rule of 55 allows for penalty-free early retirement withdrawals. ➡️ International Portfolio Allocation: How much international exposure do you actually need?
