Commingling

Print

Definition

Mixing of retirement plan assets that may be required to be maintained separately for  certain reasons. For instance, adding regular IRA contributions to a conduit IRA is commingling, and results in the account losing it’s ‘conduit’ status.

Commingling is also used to refer to combining IRA assets with qualified plan assets, combining retirement plan assets with non-retirement plan assets.
