"SECURE" Retirement Changes Coming this Year

South Carolina Business Review logo

Last year, we mentioned that a possible new retirement law could bring some significant changes to your retirement account.  And just before Christmas, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act, was signed by the president and is now law.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
