At Advisory Education Partners (AEP), we’re committed to equipping financial advisory professionals with the tools and training they need to deliver outstanding client service. That’s why we’re excited to announce the release of our newest Fast Facts course: Understanding Reverse Rollovers. Fast Facts are lessons of 10 minutes or less, concentrating on a specific topic or strategy.
Why This Course Matters
A reverse rollover (or roll up), the movement of funds from an IRA back into an employer-sponsored retirement plan, can be a powerful strategy in the right circumstances. Yet, it’s often misunderstood or overlooked by advisors and client service professionals. Missteps can lead to unnecessary taxes, lost flexibility, or compliance risks.
Our new course is designed to close that knowledge gap and provide advisor support and client service teams with the clarity they need to support clients confidently.

-
What a reverse rollover is and how it differs from traditional rollovers

Key benefits such as enabling Backdoor Roth contributions, consolidating accounts, enhancing creditor protection, and delaying RMDs

-
Best practices to ensure safe, compliant, and tax-efficient transfers
