Individual Retirement Accounts

An IRA is a personal retirement plan with tax benefits that allows savings to grow, or compound more quickly than in a taxable investment account.

An IRA can help your clients:

  • Take advantage of the power of compounding by allowing money to accumulate without paying taxes on earnings.

  • Save for retirement if they do not have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan.

  • Supplement their current savings and/or employer-sponsored retirement plan.
