If you have multiple 401(k)s, IRAs, and brokerage accounts – or multiple financial professionals, as many high-net-worth people do – you’ll need to feel comfortable with the plan you’ve created to manage required minimum distributions and your retirement accounts, potentially through decades of retirement. How should those accounts be invested? Should you roll over 401(k)s? What’s the plan? Importantly, the plan must accommodate multiple objectives (current income plus capital appreciation) and goals (lifelong income; charity; legacy), and it has to fit you – not anyone else.
