Retirement Planning & The Individual(k) Plan^™

401(k)? You never thought it could work for a small business.

The Individual(k) Plan™ is something completely different - a type of 401(k) plan designed specifically for owner-only businesses. With higher maximum contribution levels, loans, and the ability to consolidate your other retirement accounts, this plan is something completely different. Thanks to changes in the tax laws, even the smallest business can enjoy all the benefits of a big company 401(k) without the expense and complexity.

Features of the Individual(k) Plan™

The Individual(k) Plan™ has many benefits beyond its generous contribution limits. Consider the following:

• Valuable tax advantages. Individual(k) contributions are tax-deductible by your business, and earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis until withdrawn.*
• Complete contribution flexibility. You decide each year whether to contribute and how much to contribute.
• Wide range of investment choices. Amundi US offers a selection of mutual funds ranging from conservative to aggressive so you can tailor your investment program to suit your retirement goals.
• Hassle-free. Individual(k) is easy and inexpensive to maintain. Unlike traditional 401(k) plans, there are no complicated discrimination tests or administrative requirements.
• Loan availability. You can take loans from your Individual(k) account -- tax-free and penalty-free -- under the same guidelines available to large corporate 401(k) plans.
• Account consolidation. Individual(k) can be used to consolidate retirement assets held in different plans to create one convenient account. Individual(k) can also accept rollovers of Roth monies from other 401(k) plans. See additional information below.

* For Qualified Distributions, which means that the initial Roth contribution has generally been in the account for five or more years and is either: made on or after the date you attain age 59½; made after your death, or attributable to your being disabled.
