If you are currently participating in a retirement plan such as a 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plan, when is the last time you reviewed the investment selections you made in your account?
For many investors, it may have been months or even years since their portfolio was adjusted.
Most people contribute regularly to their retirement plan, but staying focused on managing the investments inside the account can be difficult. Life gets busy, and retirement planning is often pushed aside.
However, your retirement plan may become one of the largest assets you will rely on during retirement. Financial markets constantly change, and maintaining discipline while managing investments through different market cycles can be challenging.
Wouldn’t it be reassuring to know that you have professional support helping you manage this important part of your financial future?
You Are Not Alone
Many people start saving for retirement without implementing a clear long-term strategy.
Without guidance, investors may make decisions based on emotions, particularly during periods of market volatility. Others feel overwhelmed by the number of investment choices available and end up adopting a “buy and forget” approach. While this may feel easier, it often results in portfolios that go years without review or adjustment.
Studies have shown that investors who receive professional guidance for their retirement accounts often achieve better long-term outcomes than those who manage everything on their own.
Why Many Investors Underperform
Over the past twenty-five years, the average 401(k) equity investor’s account performance has often not kept pace with the broader market.
Why does this happen?
One major reason is emotion.
Fear during market declines and overconfidence during market increases can cause investors to make decisions that negatively impact long-term performance. Without a structured strategy, it becomes easy to react to short-term market movements instead of focusing on long-term goals.
Can a Financial Advisor Manage Your 401(k)?
The good news is that changes in retirement plan regulations now allow credentialed financial professionals to help manage certain employer-sponsored retirement accounts.
In many cases, your employer’s retirement plan may allow the creation of custom investment portfolios that can be monitored and rebalanced by professional money managers.
This provides an opportunity to bring professional oversight and disciplined management to your retirement plan while you continue working and contributing to the account.
Professional Management Options
At Ametrine Wealth Strategies, we utilize a Turnkey Asset Management Program (TAMP)* that allows advisors to access and combine multiple risk-managed investment strategies within a single account.
These programs can help provide structured portfolio management for retirement plans such as 401(k), 403(b), and 457 accounts, when permitted by the plan.
