What happens when you roll over to an IRA?

A rollover is when you move funds from your prior employer's retirement account into an IRA. And that means you preserve the tax-deferred status of your retirement money, without paying taxes or early withdrawal penalties at the time of transfer. If you roll into a Principal® IRA, we'll help you open an account over the phone or online and move your money automatically.

Call us at 833-648-2065 or log in to explore rolling to an IRA.
