    Selecting the best retirement plan is determined by your personal financial profile. First consideration is whether the plan should be qualified or non-qualified. If your tax bracket is high and/or your employer matches some of your contributions, a qualified plan should be considered. If your tax bracket is low and your employment doesn’t offer a match then non-qualified plan should be considered. Once you establish whether the plan should be qualified or non-qualified, then funding your retirement with the proper product is next. To do this you need to establish a personal financial profile that includes a risk tolerance assessment, your financial goals and a life expectancy review.

    The best retirement plan is the one that allows maximum pretax or tax deductible contributions with an employer match and a vast inventory of investments to choose from. A 401(k) allows up to $17,500 with a catch provision for those over age 50 for an additional contribution of $5,500. Not all employers match, but if you're a highly paid employee, you may able to persuade your employer to match as an employee retention benefit.
