Follow our three-step process to roll over your old 401(k) or other employer-sponsored account into a Schwab IRA and take control of your retirement savings.
For many individuals, converting to a Roth IRA may make sense. However, you should consult with a tax advisor and consider the following factors prior to making your decision:
If so, a conversion may also make sense for you.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Subsequent markets may perform better or worse than for the periods shown, which will cause the actual results of a portfolio to be better or worse than shown. LIM does not guarantee or offer any assurance that any portfolio or account will be profitable, meet a client’s stated objectives, or prevent or reduce losses. A client may lose money by investing in a portfolio. Actual realized returns will depend on, among other factors, the value of assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs, and the timing of the purchase.

The Fundamental Small Cap Value Composite consists of accounts that hold U.S. small cap stocks selected by using LIM Fundamental Analysis. This analysis identifies undervalued companies using LIM’s GRAPES valuation model and applies other selection criteria relating to a company’s business prospects, management quality, and capital structure. The benchmark for the composite is the Russell 2000 Index, presented in U.S. Dollars. The Russell 2000 is a market cap weighted index of small company US stocks. In the past the composite has displayed higher volatility than its benchmark. Investing in small capitalization companies generally involves greater risk than investing in larger, more established companies. The S&P 500 is a market-capitalization weighted index of 500 leading publicly traded companies in the U.S.
The composite includes fully discretionary, management fee-paying and, beginning on January 1, 2011, non-management fee-paying accounts, including those accounts no longer with the firm. The U.S. Dollar is the currency used to express performance. Returns are presented net of management fees and include all trading expenses and the reinvestment of all income and dividends. Net of fee performance was calculated using model management fees, including for non-fee-paying accounts. The model fee is our current maximum fee of 1.5% per year for separately managed accounts which do not pay a performance-based fee. Actual advisory fees and transaction fees will vary depending on, among other things, the portfolio, account size, and activity. Fees are described in LIM’s ADV Part 2A.
On September 24, 2019, Lyons Investment Management acquired the asset management business which managed the composite presented. At the time of the acquisition LIM was affiliated with the prior firm with shared investment personnel. Performance shown prior to the acquisition date is from the prior firm. The historical performance has been linked to performance achieved at Lyons Investment Management.
The benchmark data provided was obtained from publicly available reports. LIM believes such data to be reliable but does not audit, verify, or guarantee its accuracy or completeness. When comparing the performance results to a benchmark, clients should keep in mind that: 1) Indexes are unmanaged and unavailable for direct investment. 2) Benchmark returns include reinvestment of income, but do not reflect taxes, or investment advisory or other fees that would reduce performance. 3) Performance information of benchmark indexes is included for comparison purposes only. 4) Indexes and benchmarks may not directly correlate or only partially relate to the composite.

The Morningstar RatingTM for separate accounts, commonly called the star rating, is a measure of a separate account’s risk-adjusted return, relative to other separate accounts in the same Morningstar Category. Separate accounts are rated from 1 to 5 stars, with the best performers receiving 5 stars and the worst performers receiving 1 star. Separate accounts are rated for up to three periods (three, five, and 10 years), and ratings are recalculated each quarter. The Morningstar Rating for separate accounts uses an enhanced risk-adjusted return measure, which accounts for all variations in a separate account’s monthly performance, with more emphasis on downward variation. Separate accounts are ranked against others in the same category and stars are assigned as follows: Top10% 5 stars, Next 22.5% 4 stars, Middle 35% 3 stars, Next 22.5% 2 stars, Bottom 10% 1 star.
