The real risk

Will your savings last 30 years?

You'll live longer than you think

1 in 3 people who reach 65 will live past 90. A 25–30 year retirement means your money has to keep working long after the paychecks stop.

📉

A bad market at the wrong time

A market crash right as you retire can permanently shrink your nest egg. Guaranteed income protects you from that "sequence of returns" risk.

The "move back to India" question

What actually happens to your 401k and IRA if you return to India? Most advisors never plan for it. We do.

"What happens to my 401k if I move back to India?"

If returning to India is even a possibility, your retirement plan needs to account for it now — not after you've left. We help you understand the moving parts and build income that follows you.

💸

Your 401k & IRA don't disappear

You can keep, roll over, or draw from US retirement accounts after moving — but the rules, withholding, and timing matter a lot.

Common questions

Retirement & annuity FAQs

What happens to my 401k or IRA if I move back to India?

Your US retirement accounts don't vanish — you can generally keep them, roll them over, or take withdrawals after relocating. But withholding, required distributions, and the US–India tax treaty all come into play, and the smartest moves are usually made before you leave. We build a plan so your retirement income keeps flowing wherever you live.

What is an annuity, in plain English?

An annuity is a contract with an insurance company: you put in money (now or over time), and it pays you income back — often guaranteed for life. Think of it as creating your own pension. Different types trade off growth, safety, and flexibility.

Are annuities safe?

Fixed and fixed-indexed annuities protect your principal — you can't lose money to a market drop, and many guarantee lifetime income. They're backed by the issuing insurer, so we only use highly-rated carriers. Variable annuities carry market risk in exchange for more growth potential.

Should I roll over my old 401(k)?

Often, yes. Rolling an old employer 401(k) into an IRA or annuity can give you more control, lower fees, better investment options, and the ability to create guaranteed income. We'll review your specific plan and tell you whether a rollover helps.

Can I get tax-free income in retirement?

Yes — strategies using Roth accounts and properly-structured IUL can provide income that's tax-free when you take it. Blending taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-free sources is one of the most powerful ways to keep more of your money in retirement.

When should I start planning for retirement?

Now. The earlier you plan, the more options you have — for growth, for tax strategy, and especially if an international move might be in your future. Even if retirement is decades away, a few decisions today make a big difference later.
