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.
Individual Retirement Accounts
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.
