There are so many benefits to rolling your 401(k) into an IRA. But turns out, according to Vanguard, nearly one-third of investors who rolled their 401(k) into an IRA were still sitting in cash seven years later; they never invested their retirement savings! As our financial advisor Sean with and Erin discuss, these investors are missing out on billions in investment gains!

This problem is most pronounced among investors who’ve changed jobs and younger investors. While cash has a place in most portfolios, researchers estimate that the long-term benefit of investing in a target date fund (versus staying in cash) upon rollover is equivalent to an increase of at least $130,000 in retirement wealth at age 65.
