Retirement rollovers at M1

What is a rollover?

It’s common to collect employer-sponsored retirement accounts over the course of a career, such as a 401(k) or 403(b). You can “roll over” such accounts into a self-directed M1 IRA anytime, without penalty.

M1 supports direct and indirect rollovers

You can choose to have your provider mail a check with your retirement funds directly to M1 for a direct rollover, or have it sent to you for an indirect rollover.

Roll over in 3 steps

Roll over step 1

Open an M1 IRA account

You’ll need your new account number for the next step.

Roll over step 2

Initiate your rollover

Have your account provider write a check payable to Apex Clearing FBO [Your Name], with your name and new M1 IRA account number printed in the memo line.

Roll over step 3

Start investing

Once your retirement funds land in your new M1 IRA (1-2 weeks), you have everything you need to build and execute your own automated, self-directed investing strategy.

Avoid management fees

Employer-sponsored accounts often charge fees that can eat into your earnings. M1 accounts are self-directed, with no management or commission fees. Commission-free trading of stocks and ETFs refers to $0 commissions charged by M1 Finance LLC for self-directed brokerage accounts. Other fees may apply such as regulatory, M1 Plus membership, account closures and ADR fees. For complete list of fees, visit M1 Fee Schedule.

Broad investment options

The M1 platform offers a wide range of stocks, ETFs, and pre-built portfolios tailored to common investment approaches.

Automate your strategy
