Question on how to exchange a 401k investment including balance to a new fund. My retired wife has a Fidelity 401k plan and she'd like to roll the entire amount into a more conservative fund with less risk. Being retired she no longer contributes to this account nor have we needed to access any of the funds yet.
When I go online to exchange this fund and balance for a new one it's uses the term "sell" and "buy" for the new fund she'd like to get into.
Is this just a play on words meaning she's simply transferring the money into the new fund? I'd hate to accidentally "sell" her balance and fine ourselves with a check in the mail for this huge amount by mistake!
When I did a similar thing with my 401k (different company) plan they didn't use the term "sell", simply transfer. Am I simply over thinking this process?
Thanks for any comments.
