Considering a Roth Conversion in 2025?

A Roth conversion lets you move money from a traditional IRA or 401(k) into a Roth IRA, paying taxes now in exchange for tax-free growth and qualified withdrawals later.

It can be especially powerful if:
✅ You expect to be in a higher tax bracket later
✅ The market is down

Keep in mind that Roth conversions involve paying taxes upfront on the converted amount. The decision to convert should take into consideration your current and expected future tax rates.
