MyRA: The Administration Uses Disintermediation to Answer FSI's and SIFMA's Whining
Ron A. Rhoades, JD, CFP Link to more items from this source
[Opinion]
Feb. 11, 2014
"Investors in these accounts will see years when the stock market soars, yet their returns are very low.... And, when investors accumulate $15,000 in the accounts and are forced, by current regulations, to roll the account over into a Roth IRA, they will likely scream. Why abandon an account which apparently has no annual fee and an extremely low annual expense ratio? It won't be long before the MyRA account limit is raised substantially, or limits are removed completely. In essence, financial services disintermediation takes place. And it will continue to take place, now that the door has been opened. This may be the beginning of the end of defined contribution plan and IRA accounts managed by private financial services firms."
