A financial advisor recommends rolling over a $60,000 state law enforcement pension with a 4% guaranteed return into a Roth Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) linked to a new federal job. While the 4% guarantee seems safe, it may not keep up with inflation or current Treasury yields near 5%. Over 20-25 years, investing in TSP with equity exposure could significantly outperform the fixed 4% return, potentially doubling the investment. The key factor is the time horizon; for someone younger with decades before withdrawal, the rollover offers more growth potential and flexibility without sacrificing safety, especially by choosing conservative TSP options. Investors should confirm rollover procedures and tax implications before proceeding.
