hey guys jessica here today i'm going to
[2]
be showing you how to roll over a 401k
[5]
from fidelity into a vanguard ira
[8]
so this is actually my personal
[10]
situation i have a old fidelity 401k
[14]
from a previous employer sitting there i
[15]
figure i was overdue and rolling it over
[17]
into an ira and simultaneously i figure
[20]
i'm not the only one going through this
[22]
painful process so i thought i'd record
[24]
it break it down step by step and hope
[27]
you guys find it useful
[30]
all right so the first step is to create
[33]
an account with vanguard or actually two
[35]
accounts one
[37]
account to hold my roth retirement
[39]
savings and one account to hold my
[41]
traditional retirement savings
[43]
and so i'm going to do that first
[45]
okay what would you like to do
[47]
open a new account
[49]
or move an account or assets to vanguard
[53]
i think that is what i want to do
[57]
first select the account type held at
[60]
the other firm it's a 401k
[63]
make sure you have an eligible vanguard
[65]
account to move the assets into
[68]
so pre-tax contributions
[71]
must be moved into rollover iras or
[73]
traditional iras roth contributions must
[75]
be moved into roth iras and if you're
[77]
transferring both you'll need to open
[79]
one account for each type
[81]
so i want to open a new vanguard account
[85]
it's in your employer sponsored plan
[87]
account that's correct that's a mouthful
[90]
do you know what your employer-sponsored
[92]
plan needs from vanguard
[96]
so they just need the vanguard account
[98]
number tell us more about your
[99]
employer-sponsored plan account
[102]
do you have any roth 401k contributions
[105]
you would like to roll over yes and i
[107]
would assume this would actually be very
[109]
common that's confusing if you're
[111]
transferring both roth and pre-tax
[113]
contributions you'll need to go through
[115]
this process twice one for each
[117]
contribution type
[119]
would you like to roll over your pre-tax
[120]
contributions now yes you indicated that
[123]
you have both pre-tax and post-tax roth
[126]
assets to transfer both asset types
[128]
you'll need to open two iras
[130]
a rollover ira for your pre-tax
[132]
contributions and a roth ira for your
[134]
roth or post-tax contributions next
[137]
steps select no for question 2
[140]
and yes for question three to proceed
[142]
with your roth ira rollover request
[145]
when you're finished return to open
[147]
account to request your rollover ira for
[149]
your pre-tax contributions
[152]
select no for question one
[154]
to proceed with your rollover ira
[157]
request okay so it wants me to
[160]
select no
[162]
and just focus on the roth first
[165]
i'm not quite sure why in this order but
[168]
i'll follow those instructions
[172]
what's your goal for this money
[174]
uh it's retirement right okay so primary
[177]
investment objective
[179]
is growth source of funds
[183]
retirement and general savings
[186]
select what you'd like to do with your
[187]
dividends and capital gains this
[189]
selection will apply to all eligible
[191]
holdings in your account
[194]
so for everybody who's listening to this
[195]
like
[196]
make sure you select reinvest
[199]
if it goes into the money market
[201]
settlement fund it's basically like cash
[203]
and
[204]
it will
[205]
not give you the opportunity to take
[207]
advantage of compounding over time
[211]
thank you for choosing to roll over your
[213]
employer sponsored plan account to
[215]
vanguard
[216]
to complete this process simply follow
[218]
these steps
[219]
okay so make the check payable to
[222]
vanguard fbome roth ira all right so it
[226]
seems like the
[227]
roth ira account is open
[230]

[232]
traditional ira so i'm back on the
[234]
screen tell us about your employer

[391]
hey guys finally got the check in the

[397]
for too long uh the irs is gonna assume
[400]
that you
[401]
wanted to take your money out and charge
[403]
you huge penalties for it so let's go do
[406]
it
[408]
all right so finally got the fidelity
[411]
401k check here i am now going to
[414]
deposit it into the vanguard app not the
[418]
most elegant
[419]
envelope opening okay yes so it's very
[422]
clear this one is for the ira and then
[425]
this one is for the roth ira perfect
[427]
okay now i'm going to sign both
[430]
and upload okay
[432]
so now i have my vanguard app here and
[435]
i'm going to hit contribute
[438]
and
[440]
going to go let's do the roth ira first
[443]
so this one here
[446]
and i'm going to put the money into sort
[449]
of the federal money market fund it'll
[451]
go in there first and then
[453]
pick investments after that okay from
[456]
go in here select mobile check
[459]
investment which is what i have
[461]
there's terms and services
[465]
great
[466]
accept
[467]
is this a rollover from your
[469]
employer-sponsored plan yes it is so
[472]
make sure to check that
[474]
is this a rollover from a designated
[476]
roth sponsored plan yes it is okay
[480]
perfect and then
[483]
the amount
[485]
now take photos
[488]
and then you have to hit submit
[490]
and then at the bottom we have another
[492]
check invest another check okay so this
[494]
one is um the traditional so go in here
[499]
and then pick
[500]
the
[501]
traditional one and then this is also
[503]
going to go into the federal money
[504]
market
[506]
from a mobile check investment
[508]
this is a rollover yes
[511]
and
[512]
the amount
[513]
then take a photo
[515]
and submit
[516]
all right so going into my email
[519]
there's two confirmation emails that
[521]
both of the checks have been received
[523]
it's not confirmed yet that the
[526]
funds have gone through so definitely
[528]
don't throw away the checks just yet
[530]
wait until you get that follow-up email
[531]
from vanguard
[533]
but that's it for now
[536]
all right guys so now i'm going to be
[539]
investing the money that is in the
[540]
account um i'm going to be doing this on
[543]
web because it's easier for me to record
[545]
this way but obviously you can also do
[547]
this on
[548]
the app
[550]
so you can see here that the money has
[551]
arrived in the account
[553]
it's sitting in the vanguard federal
[555]
money market fund they don't
[557]
automatically invest it for you so you
[559]
actually have to take this extra step to
[560]
make sure that the money is invested in
[562]
the market
[563]
but here's the money that is in the
[565]
rollover ira and then down here the roth
[568]
portion is sitting in a separate account
[570]
for for
[571]
roth ira
[572]
and basically what you want to do here
[574]
is you want to go into transact so this
[577]
is not user friendly at all
[580]
and you want to select the one that says
[583]
trade vanguard etfs i'm assuming you
[585]
want to put it into ets but obviously
[587]
you could also you know put it into a
[589]
mutual fund
[590]
in my case what i'm going to be doing is
[592]
putting 60 into vti and then uh 40 into
[597]
vxus
[599]
but obviously you should do what makes
[600]
the most sense for you um so
[603]
in here you want to click buy
[605]
and then in this case i want to buy vti
[609]
and i said 60 right so
[612]
i previously already did this
[613]
calculation but 60 of this 75 985 guess
[617]
me to 45 591 and you can go here
[621]
calculate dollars to shares so i think
[624]
it was 45 591
[628]
gives you 199 estimated shares use this
[631]
quantity
[632]
i'm going to put a market order because
[635]
you know vti is incredibly liquid so
[638]
no huge issues there
[640]
preview order
[641]
review and submit all looks good 199 of
[645]
vti
[647]
right here
[648]
perfect
[649]
submit all right so that part is done um
[653]
and then let's go back to accounts
[656]
and do the same thing for the rest of it
[659]
the remaining 40
[660]
so this account here
[662]
transact
[664]
and so here i'm going to use the rest of
[666]
the money in the account
[668]
i'm going to buy
[670]
vxus
[673]
calculate dollars to shares the rest of
[675]
the money
[676]
oh
[677]
466.
[678]
uh this
[680]
so and 466 ends up being a little bit
[682]
too much so i'm going to just change
[683]
this uh so ends up being 464 to get to
[686]
30 000 so just a little bit below the
[689]
funds available to trade and then
[691]
preview the order and
[694]
vxus the rollover ira
[698]
all looks good go ahead submit all right
[701]
and that's it um i'm going to be going
[704]
and doing the same thing in that other
[706]
roth ira account that i showed you guys
[708]
um but that's pretty much the process
[710]
i hope you guys found it helpful i know
[712]
that these uh you know vanguard fidelity
[714]
these guys are not super user friendly
[716]
and so knowing where to sort of sign up
[719]
for accounts in what order what to click
[722]
