A Traditional IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is a personal account designed for retirement savings that offers tax advantages. You can deduct the amount you contribute to this account from your taxable income when filing your annual taxes, and the investment earnings in the account are not taxed until you withdraw the funds.

A Roth IRA (Roth Individual Retirement Account) is similar to a Traditional IRA, but with different tax treatment. You do not receive tax benefits when you contribute funds, but you can withdraw both principal and earnings tax-free at any time in the future. Additionally, Roth IRAs do not have Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), meaning you can hold onto the account balance without being forced to withdraw it until you pass away.

A Rollover IRA is a method for transferring assets from a retirement plan (such as a 401(k) or 403(b)) account. By transferring funds from a retirement plan into a Rollover IRA, you can avoid early withdrawal penalties and gain greater flexibility and choice for future retirement savings.

If you're self-employed or run an owner-only business, you are eligible to establish an individual 401(k) plan. An individual 401(k) plan allows you to invest significantly higher dollar amounts than an IRA account and has additional features like loans that make it a very flexible retirement account. And with our open architecture investment platform, you have the ultimate flexibility in investment choices.
