FREE Roth IRA Conversion Seminars at Lake Forest Bank & Trust

Lake Forest Bank & Trust and Wayne Hummer Wealth Management will host a set of Roth IRA Conversion Seminars.  These seminars are FREE and open to the public.  They will be held at Lake Forest Bank & Trust, located at 727 North Bank Lane in Lake Forest.  The first seminar will be on Wednesday, March 17th from 8:30 - 10:00 am and includes breakfast.  The second will be on Thursday, March 18th from 6:00 - 7:30 pm with hor d'oeuvres and refreshments.

The Roth IRA Conversion, which is the conversion of existing traditional IRA's and other qualified retirement plans to Roth IRA's, is a significant new investment planning opportunity.  Beginning in 2010, the $100,000.00 adjusted gross income limit for individuals converting to Roth IRA will be permanently abolished.

The informative seminar, presented by Jeff Sweno, Vice President of Investments for Wayne Hummer, will discuss how to minimize taxes, maximize your retirement and your wealth transfer dollars and take advantage of market volatility.

Please call Emily Marquis to make a reservation at 847-810-5005 or e-mail emarquis@lakeforestbank.com.
