Workplace Retirement Plan (401k, 403b, 457b)
Gold IRA Glossary
An employer-sponsored retirement account, such as a 401(k) for private companies, a 403(b) for schools and nonprofits, or a 457(b) for government workers. These plans rarely offer physical precious metals, so savers who want a Gold IRA typically roll over money from a plan at a former employer. Some plans also allow in-service rollovers that let current employees move a portion of their balance while still working.
