Investment IRAs
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are investment accounts that offer tax advantages for retirement savings. They are popular among individuals looking to save for retirement because of their potential for growth and tax benefits.
With an IRA, you can invest in various assets such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and CDs, depending on the type of IRA you choose (Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, or SEP IRA, among others). Contributions to Traditional IRAs may be tax-deductible, and the earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawal, while Roth IRA contributions are made after-tax, and withdrawals in retirement are tax-free.
Savings IRAs
A Savings IRA refers to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) that primarily invests in savings-oriented assets such as money market funds, savings accounts, or certificates of deposit (CDs).
These types of IRAs are known for their low risk and stability, making them suitable for individuals who prioritize capital preservation and steady returns over higher-risk investments like stocks or bonds. Savings IRAs offer tax advantages similar to other IRAs, such as tax-deferred growth or tax-free withdrawals in retirement, depending on the specific type of IRA (Traditional IRA or Roth IRA).
