Roth Individual Retirement Accounts offer unique benefits unmatched by retirement plans like 401(k)s and Traditional IRAs.

With a Roth IRA, you don’t get a tax break on contributions now, but you can enjoy tax-free earnings later. 

As long as you’re at least age 59 1/2 and have held the account for 5+ years, withdrawals of contributions and earnings are tax-free.

Features and benefits include:

  • Make annual Roth IRA contributions up to the limits set by the IRS
  • Watch your savings grow with guaranteed returns
  • You don’t have to pay income taxes on withdrawals in retirement
  • No forced withdrawals when you reach a certain age
  • In some cases, you can use funds for buying a home or higher education
