Traditional IRA

An Individual Retirement Account to match your personal preferences

Here's why a Traditional IRA might be a good choice for you

Starting early

You or your spouse are younger than age 70 ½ and have earned income.

Looking for a break

You want to make tax-deductible contributions (consult a tax advisor for full details).

Waiting until later

You want to defer taxes on your earnings until you withdraw them.

Saving for retirement, the traditional way

Creating a diversified portfolio is an excellent way to prepare for retirement. Even if you invest in your employer's 401(k) plan, opening a Traditional IRA with us can help you build up your savings over the long term so you can enjoy your retirement years the way you want. If you have any questions, please contact us or discuss your options with a tax professional.
