Over the Memorial Day weekend, Brian Wiley and Alexandra Lundgren unpack the often misunderstood mechanics and risks of 401(k) plans—from overloading on company stock to the overlooked tax strategy known as Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA). If your retirement plan is tied to your employer’s stock, your paycheck, and maybe even a pension, you may be overexposed without realizing it…
They walk listeners through how NUA works and when it might be smarter to move company stock out of a 401(k) instead of rolling it all into an IRA. Brian and Alex also dive into loan provisions, early withdrawals, and the in-service distribution option that can open the door to greater investment flexibility—if your plan allows it.
They also break down why 401(k) plans are designed the way they are, what employers can customize, and how plan features like automatic enrollment, vesting schedules, and Roth catch-ups impact savers at different stages of life.
