Different Eggs, Different Baskets: The Potential Benefits of Recharacterization when Utilizing Separate Accounts
After a Roth conversion, there may be a number of reasons why an investor may choose to recharacterize some, not all, of the assets that were initially converted to a Roth back to a traditional IRA. However, anti-cherry-picking rules may negate the benefit of recharacterization if separate Roth IRA accounts for separate asset classes are not utilized. This brochure uses two hypothetical illustrations to compare the impact of anti-cherry-picking on assets that are commingled within one account to its impact on assets that are held in separate accounts.
