Is there any provision for transferring a 401K balance into an IRA account
*before* you terminate employment? Generally IRA accounts offer much more flexible investments than 401K plans. So for active investors it is far preferable if you can periodically transfer out of an active 401K and into an equivalent IRA. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like brokers have a process for doing this until after you terminate employment. What is the law on this issue? Is there a way to force a transfer out of 401K and over to IRA while you are still actively employed?
