Roth 401(k) Catch-Up: Smart Move For Top Earners?
February 27, 2026
"Optionality is often underappreciated, especially when you're dealing with growth of funds over a long period of time," said Alex Guiliano, chief investment officer at Resonate Wealth Partners. "Having different pots of money to take from gives people the option to gain financial efficiencies in the future that they may not even have on their radar."
Having a mix of pretax savings and after-tax savings like a Roth can help minimize future tax-rate uncertainty. If tax rates spike, the Roth becomes an even more useful tool in your retirement plan arsenal.
"What it comes down to is people are going to pay a known amount of money (in taxes) to lock in tax-free growth and optionality for the future," said Guiliano.

Here’s what investors want even more than a Fed interest-rate cut this week
“We expect an uneventful FOMC meeting on Jan. 28. There is little reason for the Fed to cut rates right now, especially after cuts at each of the last three meetings,” Alex Guiliano, chief investment officer at Resonate Wealth Partners, told MarketWatch.
With the political pressure on Fed Chair Powell increasing in recent weeks, investors may be wondering if he’ll address the ongoing investigation during his Wednesday press conference. Guiliano said he expects Powell to tread carefully around that topic.
“Stock-market volatility could come soon after the next Fed chair takes office midyear, as the market starts to get used to the tone and direction of a new chair,” Guiliano said.

“There are just too many headlines from Washington, coupled with the usual pace of earnings and economic data,” he said.
However, he also noted that the selloff that occurred prior to President Donald Trump’s speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, which saw the S&P 500 tumble more than 2%, “ended up being a nice buying opportunity, especially for those who have missed much of the rally over the past several months.”

“This week’s market action is an important reminder for investors to not allow political headlines out of Washington to affect their portfolio, and to be opportunistic when stocks succumb to headline risk,” said Alexander Guiliano at Resonate Wealth Partners. “The stock market is likely to remain headline sensitive for some time.”

Also around earnings, Alexander Guiliano, chief investment officer of Resonate Wealth Partners stated: “The stock market is bracing for big tech earnings.

Alex Guiliano, chief investment strategist with Resonate Wealth Partners, says there may be a scenario where the Federal Reserve does not end up cutting rates in 2026, an outcome that could create an opportunity for investors looking at "names in the financials or the healthcare space, where profits are strong, dividend payers are strong, and the ability to take advantage of those lower valuations that haven't been followed over the last few years."

“There is still time for stocks to stage a Santa Claus rally, which historically comes during the final few trading days of the year,” said Guiliano at Resonate Wealth Partners.
Even though markets have been choppy for about six-weeks, the backdrop remains strong and the contraction in valuations is presenting opportunities for investors who don’t have enough stock exposure, he added.
“It’s important for investors to not waste time trying to time the AI bubble,” Guiliano said. “We are seeing a structural investment boom, but even with that, we urge investors to actually invest and not speculate.”
He recommends investors to focus on companies that can lead the way in building and enabling, while having the financial strength to pivot, make mistakes, and win the arms race anyway. Many of the big tech companies fit this mosaic, even though their valuations are elevated, he added.
